Turn any website into a GAME!!!

Japanese game coders are always known for their novel ideas. While browsing through flash games, i came across a truly genius game which can turn any website into a game. THE LAST GUY lets you mess with any high-profile website whether even it is of US Military. It is not like a background of that website on which you play game but actually the game modifies itself with respect to the website. For example, i tried to play it on my blog , so it turned the outer boundary as a wall and inner boundaries as semi-permeable wall, Plus, i can't go across pictures, i can only move in the passages given b/w them. Truly an ingenious concept.

Easter egg in python 2.6

Recently i found a new easter egg in Python. It is a nice one, u get a long poem about python describing its features. And i used to think they have stopped putting easter eggs. Microsoft even has a rule that the programmer who puts any easter egg in their program goes straight out of the job. They consider it a reason for security loophole. I think Microsoft should look into its code rather than blaming easter eggs for loopholes.

Anyways, here the cheat.

Go to python console and type import this and u will get:


The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters

Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
