An Easter Egg is a hidden feature or novelty that the programmers have put in their software. In general, it is any hidden, entertaining thing that a creator hides in their creation only for their own personal reasons. This can be anything from a hidden list of the developers, to hidden commands, to jokes, to music, to funny animations. You'd be surprised just how many Operating Systems, Software Programs and DVD’s contain Easter Eggs.
