I guess this is kinda an egg. I found it while searching around on the site a long time ago.

http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul

Works best with Mozilla or Mozilla Firefox. I guess IE users could download it and look at the code.

I guess none of you get it.

I looked it over, very briefly. Maybe 30 seconds. Looks promising from what I could gather, as XML is the current standard for applications communicating w/ servers.

I guess when I have time (or interest in this), I'll look it over more. ;)

I guess I don't get it either. Is it supposed to be something more than just a page with two lines of text? Maybe they removed the egg recently, because that page looks pretty boring in FF 0.9.

I know what XUL is, but I still don't get the point of this. It's just a web page that says "THERE IS NO DATA. THERE IS ONLY XUL." Does this page actually do something in Mozilla, or did you just link to a web page and call it an easter egg? :rolleyes:

Edit: ok, ok, I get it now! I didn't recognize the quote at first ;)

Yeah, I was one year old when that movie came out... Once I read the background of the quote, I remembered hearing it in the movie. It's somewhat amusing once you get the reference.

Nor did I, but I searched it anyway since there's a reference to Zuul in WarCraft III as well.

I still stand by my original post. I looked it over for 30 seconds, and didn't get the reference to the GhostBuster movie.

I mean, I don't even remember it, except for that wicked intro song. "Something wrong, in the neighborhood...." And wasn't that the cartoon?

Ah well...
