Am I the only person that finds the whole concept of Easter eggs a slap
in the face from the developers. 

When I find this rubbish in M$oft's expensive software I feel outraged.
Is it better because it's open source? I think not. On the other hand
perhaps the Python development process is itself a joke. When one
questions the idiots in charge one ends in the kill file. No one expects
the Spanish inquisition, but perhaps if rather trite philosophy is
hidden in python and we have geniuses for developers, what else may be
embedded therein?
