Here's the definition from wikipedia
Easter eggs are messages, graphics, sound effects, or an unusual change in program behavior, that mainly occur in a software program in response to some undocumented set of commands, mouse clicks, keystrokes or other stimuli intended as a joke or to display program credits.

Yeah it's way too old and well known for us. But, quite a lot of people still don't know and they find this cool. It's really boring for us no doubt. But, then there are some nice eggs coming up here and there we don't know.
