Do you guys know what Easter Eggs are?

And I don't mean the non-toxic food-colored hard-boiled creations your kids make on or around Easter time.

Often times, software engineers, web developers and game designers will embed hidden images or other such hidden features in their software for a goof. Other times, there exist errors or mistakes in code that one can find in a game by doing a certain sequence of moves or whatever. Anyway, these hidden gems are called easter eggs. For instance, if any of you are familiar with AutoCAD's Inventor, the reflection you see in mirrored models is a view from the parking lot of the Autodesk building; in Microsoft's flight simulator, if you fly really low past Stone Henge, there's a smiley face on one of the monoliths; etc.

I propose a new game, an easter egg hunt, if you will:

Go find this:
"...brought to you by the number 5"

The winner gets nothing, but you will laugh I promise.
:D :D

Nick, we need clues.
But, don't give it away.
I'm guessing, just from a memory I read somewhere that this has something to do with a sesamee st reference in someones sig/av on another board.
Am I close?

Thanks Nick. You know how sometimes a person posts something because they know people will laugh? I posted that one because it made me laugh.
Glad that it worked on you too. :D
