Welp...woke up to 0.5-1 inch of snow and some ice on the ground and on my car. Definitely wasn't expecting that. But my time in Rochester proved quite useful. :D

So, whilst perusing the src for the chat.Travel.SE page to see if the background of the bottom chat bar showed where you were in the world (which would be cool, feature-request), I found a handy little JS file called eggs.js.
It had some pretty interesting stuff in it, such as Eggs.Asteroids and...
According to balpha, the SE chat sites may have individual Easter eggs, depending on the site. If you find them, please post.
Edit:
Because it's so easy to make this stuff up, a screenshot as proof would be nice. (Although Photoshop ain't that hard either...)
Oh, hey, can anybody help me with a little Philosophy homework? I have to interview someone, anyone, on their opinions on a few philosophy things. Shouldn't take too long.
Iterating through Doubles
This challenge is relatively simple: You are passed two floating point numbers, a and b; you must print every floating point in between in order.
I don't care if your output includes a or b. You can choose to include/exclude them if you wish. For my examples, I wil...

An adder stone is a type of stone, usually glassy, with a naturally occurring hole through it. Such stones have been discovered by archaeologists in both Britain and Egypt. Commonly, they are found in Northern Germany at the coasts of the North and Baltic Seas.
In Britain they are also called hag stones, witch stones, serpent's eggs, snake's eggs, or Glain Neidr in Wales, milpreve in Cornwall, adderstanes in the south of Scotland and Gloine nan Druidh ("Druids' glass" in Scottish Gaelic) in the north. In Egypt they are called aggry or aggri.
Adder stones were believed to have magical powers such...
My new method uses an English dictionary. It encodes 2-5 letter words, with an optional leading space in 2.12 - 2.32 bytes, and longer words in 2.56 - 2.76 bytes.
Man these downvotes on my meta answer are confusing. They're basically saying "yes a challenge that said 'recreate the mona lisa most upvotes wins gogogo'" is OK...
@Dennis s/non-/less-/ Would you consider it cheating for an interpreter to include a command H which outputs "Hello" and W which outputs "World" and writes "Hello, World!" as H, W! to be cheating?
@Sp3000 Words are ordered alphabetically and split into dictionaries of short (5 letters or less) and long words. For example, doorknob is at index 56926 in long, so we can encode it as 6 × 56926 + 1, convert to bijective base 250 and look up the corresponding chars of Jelly's code page. For Doorknob, we need to change case, so it's 18 × 56926 + 2.
@Adnan There's no sane way right now. As a rule of thumb, if you think about any feature involving strings, Jelly doesn't have it yet.
Jelly becomes yipee]z aahs. It's like it's saying "when you first discover Jelly, you will think 'Yipee!', but when you first try to program in it, you will think 'Ahh!'" :P
