10 cool internet Easter eggs (part 3)

Another batch of hidden internet tricks for Easter.


Humpty Dumpty, the original Easter egg.
I love weird tricks and novelties you can sometimes find hidden on the internet, so from time to time I like to feature a selection of my favourite tricks (more commonly known as Easter eggs) on this blog.

As it's Easter this weekend I therefore thought it would be the perfect time to round-up another batch of cool internet Easter eggs in a post which I've creatively titled '10 Cool Internet Easter Eggs (Part 3)'.

1) The Harlem Shake on YouTube


First up is a really cool hidden internet Easter egg found on YouTube which gets into the spirit of the latest craze for uploading Harlem Shake videos to YouTube.  Go to YouTube and type 'do the Harlem Shake' into the search box, and as well as listing a selection of Harlem Shake videos, you'll find that YouTube also does a Harlem Shake of its own.

(Update: Sadly, this Easter egg is no longer active, but as you can probably guess, basically the whole screen shaked.)
