Time For an Egg-cellent Blog.

Hello and welcome to another egg-citing blog. Hopefully this will be a cracking good read and will leave you egg-stremely satisfied. Now enough with the bad yolks, lets begin.

So it's Easter. The four days where we remember Jesus and his sacrifices for the human race. Well supposedly anyway. Now it is more orientated towards a marketised holiday with the selling of chocolate eggs and rabbits and stuff. I swear that sweet companies lose out nearly all year round and simply survive off the money made during three holidays; Easter, Christmas and Halloween. But yes, I am sure if you asked children under 7 what Easter is about, at least a third would say it was about the Easter bunny (not to be confused with Nesquik bunny or the Energizer bunny).

Personally I have no problem with this. I know some Christians will complain and say that it is "taking away the meaning of Easter" but in all honesty, I do not see what the big problem is. I'm sure they wouldn't say no to a Cadbury cream egg if they were offered one.

And that brings me on the my next point; Cadbury Cream eggs. when I was about five, i used to be told that my cream egg contained a real chick, and that by eating it i was killing it. So whenever I was given one, I would hand it to my brother straight away. I now realise how foolish that notion is. I mean, a real chick in chocolate? Not only would that be impractical, you would also have to question Cadburys' morals.

Now for another type of Easter egg. The media variety. I may get many raised eyebrows at this comment, but hear me out. See, in media terms an Easter egg is "A hidden feature in computer software, a DVD, or a video game." For instance, many may or may not have noticed, but if you have watched "Austin Powers In Goldmember" there are Pokemon in it! http://www.eeggs.com/items/51843.html

Also, if you use Macromedia products, you have probably found many an Easter egg. We used to sit in IT with one of the program's Easter eggs (I think it was Dreamweaver or Flash but not sure) and it was like 6 little games you could play. Another egg was almost like pong, except when you missed, you screen would flash pink and would erupt in a god awful noise. Those were the good old days.

And finally, what did you guys get for Easter? see, I ask for money because at least then I don't end up stuffing my face with chocolate and end up making myself ill. I always steal my brother's though so it's all good :)

Anyway thanks you reading my blog, and may the rest of your Easter be merry.
