Open up those Easter Eggs!
One of the best parts of the computer game revolution was the advent of "easter eggs." These were little gags built into the programs. They weren't necessary to win the game, but they were a special treat for those who searched for them.
One of the earliest I recall was in "Ultima Three." If you typed "SPAM SPAM SPAM MEATLOAF" you found yourself in the cheat menu.
Now, they're all over the internet and built into smart phones.
Say "Cortana, do you like cats?" for a surprise.
Google "Wizard of Oz" and then, on the right, click on the red shoes and then on the tornado.
Firesign Theatre fans can ask Siri, "Why does the porridge bird lay his egg in the air?"
Ask Cortana if she's hot.
