Let me be the first to say that I love the about:robots easter egg. Any geek worth his or her stripes ought to be able to place all those references, and get a good chuckle out of them.

What's more, most of these features existed in Firefox 2. Didn't know the favicon was a shortcut to Page Info though, so not a complete waste of time.
