Easter Eggs in Emacs

Question

Today I was bumming around in /usr/share/emacs/23.0.91/etc/ and I found the HELLO file. That directory is full of such gems, but I was wondering if there are other, more obscure, easter eggs in emacs that you all might know about. From a terminal window run emacs like so:

emacs --no-splash -f view-hello-file

This starts emacs and opens the HELLO file.

Answer 1

You already found the etc directory, which contains a lot of interesting or amusing reading. Here are some things that you could view as easter eggs except that they are actually documented:

• Dissociated Press
• Various amusements (unfortunately "yow" and "psychoanalyze-pinhead" have been made much more boring because of legal reasons - you might find the relevant content files in earlier versions of Emacs)

Answer 2

Well, read this xkcd comic

And try: M-x butterfly
