RE: Anyone Hide Easter Eggs in Docs?

[Victoria Camgros <vcamgros -at- persistence -dot- com>]

I've never deliberately included an Easter Egg. However...

Long ago (and far away-er, nevermind), I used to type the callouts for 
illustrations as a part of my job. This was back in the era of Rapidograph 
pens and India ink, MacTac (sticky back film) callouts, and no computers in 
the biz (she says sagely, nodding her gray head).

Anyway, we were working a tight schedule on a proposal, and several 
callouts in the sketches were completely unreadable. So I typed "blob" for 
them, assuming (since our standards were all-uppercase letters) that these 
blobs would be noticed and corrected.

Well.

Come Monday morning (yes, we were working the weekend), the proposal 
manager is flipping through the printed proposal when he comes across these 
blobs. Fortunately for me, he thought it was funny.

Taught me a lesson about trusting how other folks use the process 
(standards, reviews).
