@RonsCompVids The epic SE egg! There's a great article about that here: https://www.nycresistor.com/2012/08/21/ghosts-in-the-rom/comment-page-1/ What's especially cool is that a couple of folks in these pictures showed up in the comments to explain what they did or provide some background. Like Brian McGhie (top row, second from left, 0:28). He looks a little different from the others because he was out the day they took photos and had to add himself in later. (Also did not know Michael Tchao, who was a key Newton guy, was on the SE team.)

@RonsCompVids they definitely didn't want management finding these little additions, for sure—although as I understand it, managers were sometimes willing to look the other way, or were even included in them—but I think they wanted friends/users to find them. Like how neat would it be to have your name or face hidden in something used by millions? I miss these so much.
