I just thought I'd say to everybody that that is a reference to a part in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.If you ask again and again (however many times) then it will give you a scene from the movie.

You would need to have watched the film to really get the full effect of this egg. Anyway it's reminded me to watch the film again. Ain't seen it in ages.

I agree, this is a cool egg! I must have read it loads of times, it cannot be described as stupid in any way.

This egg does not work anymore, and neither do any of the other ones like this. Computer people don't have the sense of humor to keep things like this.
