In Pegasus Mail, there is an Easter Egg : The Joke Page.

It's located in the Program's Help.

Nowadays - meaning PMail 4 - it seems no more to be easily accessible from within the Help Function - one had to explicitely search for it, which doesn't seem to work now.

So, here it is : The famous Pegasus Mail Joke Page by David Harris ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Quote
Congratulations! You found the joke page.

Software developers are curious, stunted individuals with massive egos and towering (and usually wildly inflated) opinions of their own worth and ability... Pegasus Mail's author realises that he's probably no different from any other software developer in this regard. Accordingly, he has indulged himself outrageously by burying this completely pointless page in the help file to see if anyone finds it.

Your reward for enduring this string of platitudes and pointless observations is a short selection of some of my favourite quotable quotes -- you might like to use some of these in your variable signature, or, you might not... <grin>. Warning in advance - some of these quotes are probably not very politically correct, so if you're a pious or self-righteous person, you should probably stop reading this screen right now and return to your mail.


Definitions

Philosopher (n): a blind person in a dark room looking for a black hat that is not there.

Newspaper glitches

"Ghana is to change over to driving on the right.
The change will be made gradually."

"Police recover stolen hamster, arrest 3."

"Bush orders Army troops to U.S. Virgins."

Quotes from famous people

"Wagner's music is better than it sounds."

-- Mark Twain.

"Each time a New Zealander leaves for Australia the IQ of both countries goes up."
-- Rob Muldoon

"It's not the men in my life that count; it's the life in my men."
-- Mae West


Signs seen around the world

"Special cocktails for the ladies with nuts."
-- Seen in a Tokyo bar

"Stop: drive sideways."
-- Detour sign seen in Kyushi, Japan

"Our wines leave you nothing to hope for."
-- Seen on the menu of a Swiss Restaurant

"Salad a firm's own make; limpid red beet soup with cheesy dumplings in the form of a finger; roasted duck let loose; beef rashers beaten up in the country people's fashion."
-- Seen on the menu of a Polish hotel


And finally

Remember, even if you win the rat race, you're still a rat...

Definitions

Philosopher (n): a blind person in a dark room looking for a black hat that is not there.

[color:"yellow"] He who searches for the truth is like a man looking for a black cat in a totally dark room;
the man is blind and the cat never exited. [/color]


Erotic (adj): using a feather as a sex aid.

[color:"yellow"] Erotic is being too sensitive and stimulation vulnerable, even to a feather in a breeze. [/color]


Kinky (adj): using the whole duck.

[color:"yellow"] Kinky is using a duck as a “whole” [/color]

A sun pet: an animal used to protect the owner of the pet from sunburn.

Mostely they take a kat or a small dog, like a yorkshire...
in France, u see alot of French poodles on there heads, wich is quit a risk, because it protects you from the sunburn, but who protects you from the poodle ?????

Ancient Egyptians believed that upon death they would be asked two questions and their answers would determine whether they could continue their journey in the afterlife. The first question was, "Did you bring joy?" The second was, "Did you find joy?"
