Okay, we all know about the following Google search Easter eggs; zerg rush, do a barrel roll, askew, walking from The Shire to Mordor on Maps, yadda yadda yadda...
Do yourself a favour. Or do your productivity a disservice. Do an image search for "atari breakout"
You can hate me later.
When in mortal danger,
When beset by doubt,
Run in little circles,
Wave your arms and shout.

Nope, I got Macaroni and Cheese for the second round, and that was all I could play without getting sucked in.
So I guess I'm just behind on my google-foo, I didn't know anything about any of these. I'm quite amused by "askew," but don't get the joke on walking to mordor... I just get a map of southeast PA. Anybody help out a noob?
but often it happens you know / that the things you don't trust are the ones you need most....

I had 'cake' as the second level, so I guess it might not be the same for everyone.

Same. In my salad days I got trapped by the descendant of 'breakout', named 'Arkanoid ]['.

I think it is subtle. Do walking directions from The Shire, to Mordor. I expected a map of Middle Earth too. I don't think that is the EE.
But, I get a map of Britain to The Netherlands via Chunnel.
