Ask HN: Are there any easter eggs on HN?

[taylorbuley]

I think I remember reading a while back (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=575487) that if you have enough karma you can change the title bar background. And the Hacker News title eventually, too? Anyone know what # gets you to these marks? Are there any other easter eggs for which I can keep an eye out?

On the final level, where you face the giant Paul Graham with eye lasers, you can defeat him fairly easily if you disable his parenthesis by stealing them from his keyboard.

The whole site is open source. Here's a post where I explain how to grab the code and find karma thresholds:

There could be easter eggs that aren't in the publicly distributed source code...

I think something must have changed since that post. As displayed to me, I'm at 495 karma as of the writing of this post, but I don't currently have the ability to down-vote comments.

I hope this doesn't come across as sarcastic, but wouldn't the Codemonkey addon for Firefox suffice for what you're asking/trying to accomplish?

... because using codemonkey to mess around with webpages is an easter egg. You're completely missing the point. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_egg_(media)
