I need an about:galeon easter egg. The about:mozilla one works, but doesn't portray how great a job you guys have done making a usable Linux browser. If this is a galeon: <quote> On Mon, 2001-11-12 at 04:04, Alex Barnes wrote: > What is a galeon anyway? > > The closest I could find was "galleon" (two 'l's) > http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=galleon > > "a heavy square-rigged sailing ship of the 15th to early 18th centuries > used for war or commerce especially by the Spanish" yes thats galeon cheers yanko </quote> then, here's my idea: going to about:galeon brings up a picture of a Spanish galleon sailing in shark infested waters (look closely and the sharks are made from little letter 'e's). Clicking on the ship makes the cool animation happen: the ship turns its broadside to the sharks, rolls out its cannons and blasts them away. Alternatively, the bad-guy could be a pirate ship with the name "Internet Exploiter"... you get the idea. Too bad I'm not an artist, or I'd attach .png and .mng files for this...
This is now 4 years old, and noone cares enough to have an easter egg, so WONTFIX'ing it.
