Hiding easter eggs in the code

Ok this is a weird question.

I'm working on a project that uses a pic with a fair amount of flash memory. I'm filling it with GLCD data and am almost done with what I need to display, but still have 75% left. I was thinking that is a waste of potential flash ram space.

Then I thought how about a hidden easter egg. I could get a pretty long series of messages or video sequences in that code space. Nothing lewd I promise.

And it made me think I cannot be the only one to think I about hiding easter eggs in the code. So have you done anything and what?

Done it, mostly some copyright stuff just in case.

But if there's a GLCD, have you thought of placing something like a manual for the user?
