Absolute Craziness I'm shamelessly swiping this from linkfilter.net but it was so awesome, i wanted to post it here. Click on the cake and then type in "oompaloompa"

I've never seen anything of this sort, does anyone else know of other easter eggs on other webpages? I'm not even sure how to go about looking for them.

  • creepy...but in such a good way.
  • ?? the cake wsn't clickable? . . . am I on camera?
  • I, too, am confused much like the second generation petebest.
  • just do it anyway, you'll see what irrawaddy's talking about. the easter egg is hidden by nature any way, so I'm not surprised that the cake doesn't seem clickable. Really cool, I love easter eggs, it's all part of the "have-to-be-in-on-everything" personality trait. I've never really seen random website easter eggs though.
  • It doesn't work in Safari. It does in IE though. Nifty.
  • Very cool. I feel like such an insider.
  • ahh. Yes. click (nothing happens) type (nowhere) iiiiiii get it . . heh. . hey little fella! . hee hee! i want cake.
  • For those confused, click the picture of the chocolate marble cake. Nothing will appear when you click it but go ahead and type "oompaloompa" on your keyboard. Nice find Irrawaddy.
  • It doesn't work in either of my versions of Opera or IE (probably need to update, but I hate doing it, esp with MS products). But now I'm hungry and want cake anyways.
  • Ok, it worked, but I expected a bit more than a little green haired fellow giving me a wave. Now for eastereggs, check out homestar runner stuff. Almost every one of their animations have something fun to find.
  • For those not in the know: http://www.homestarrunner.com/
  • You don't actually have to click on the cake. You can just type oompaloompa and it works.
  • Appropriate I suppose. Thanks for the heads up Cincinatus. oompa loompa doopity doo, i've got another riddle for you...
  • I'm sorry, call me 'clueless', but I'm not sure why this is noteable. I mean, so what. Not trying to be snarky, I just don't get it.
  • Darshon: The link is from linkfilter. Does that answer your question?
  • Kimberly, maybe it's your browser, but I have to click the cake for it to happen. Darshon, one man's noteability is another man's fluff. Aaaah, subjectivity.
  • by way of contrasting example I'm trying to remember the last time someone said "hey go to that site, it's got this neat _____ on it" or whatever. ummm . . Maybe the first really cool flash navigation . . hmm . .
  • At least we know how Darshon feels now.
  • Oompaloompas are little green perverts. Do not be fooled on this matter. They are deeply twisted, and will hurt you if at all possible. Carry a whip around these creatures, it's the only thing they respect.
  • Bad Oompalompa experience, Wolof? They did a pretty good job cleaning out my car - maybe a little too much "Armor All" . . .
  • If you shave their backs, and carefully pack the hair in cornstarch blessed by a nun, wrap it all in a fresh paper bag and leave it under the toaster of a certified virgin for one hundred and one days, the hair will turn into shiny diamonds and polished pearls. It was on one of the lost episodes of "Real People" with John Davidson. I'm looking for a copy on E-bay, and when I find it and confirm with Mr. John Davidson (who I met once and was very tall.)( And regal.)( And could be a GREAT Vice-President, or something, in case there was a fire, I don't care WHAT you say Denny Hebson of Chicago, Illinois!!!), well then let's just see about those pissy-wissy "Restraining Orders". Let's all see if there was a fire or something in Chicago, and I had to run into the basement apartment of , say, Janet Margolin, and get that paper bag because they were the KING's jewels and stuff and Mr. John Davidson needed them, for his WORK, and I would kinda fall onto the floor but Mr. Davidson CAUGHT me and made me his eternal lifetime helper and I'd do secret king's business stuff. So just Sit On It Mr. Lee Klinghoffer of Downey, California, because I've GOT the money for a bus ticket to his house and I WILL sleep under the restful breezes of Malibu or those other John Davidson places. Mr. Lee Klinghoffer is a LIAR of ME and does NOT control MY LIKENESS. Salad Bar!
  • I'm not sure what to say now. except; I love you, Dizzy!
  • Diz, are you sure you didn't die and get replaced by a random text generator? I kid because I'm a monkey, and it's my job.
  • No, he was already a random text generator already. He just got upgraded. Dizzy 2.0. Now with oompa-loompa essence.
  • Perceptive Monkeys Tried and True-- I got a nifty upgrade (my mother has been in town for a week now, and if that doesn't cause some neurological re-wiring, nothing will!) And the tech boys from the factory gave me a lovely casemod- I now look like Junior Samples from "Hee Haw".
  • Clearly the problem here is not enough powdered kangaroo in the diz-meisters ovaltine. I would recommend that he cut back on the high octane stuff and go back to the crystal meth. Meanwhile, there's always the distinct possibility of redemption at the hands of the stay-puf marshmallow man or (assuming he may be busy at the vatican) his younger cousin, Bibendum.
