Firefox 3 hit the streets less than 24 hours ago, and a nifty little easter egg has already been uncovered. Simply type about:robots in the url bar and you’ll get this:

Oh no! They really are taking over!

I think my favorite bit is “Robots have seen things you people wouldn’t believe.” I wish they had elaborated on that a bit, as I would love to get inside the robot mind. Oh wait they don’t have minds. Or is it that they don’t have souls? I get confused.

    the first line, isn’t one of Asimov’s rules of robotic?

    Just tried this out and another little funny thing is that when you click on ‘retry’ it then says ‘please do not click here again’ so of course, i clicked……ill let you all find out what happens next ;-)

    “Your Plastic Pal Who’s Fun to Be With” is, I think, a reference to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
