3. Save this file under a name of your choice

4. Re-open the file

Read the seed for information on why this happens

'Easter eggs' about Bush seem to be everywhere, where will the next one be found?

Catch22

Your link makes it very clear that this isnt an easter egg, but a bug and has nothing to do with Bush.

Any 4 word phase with 4 lowercase letters, 3 letters, 3 letters and 5 letters should work.

E.g. "gore hid the facts" would result in exactly the same thing.

Something about the linked site is crashing Opera 9.02 for me.

The issue does not come up on Windows Vista at least.

    That's a bug, not an Easter egg.
