Easter Eggs
Several easter eggs exist in MATLAB. These include hidden pictures, and random in-jokes. For example, typing in "spy" will generate a picture of the spies from Spy vs Spy. Typing in "why" randomly outputs a philosophical answer. Other commands include "penny", "toilet", "image", and "life".

Famous quotes containing the words easter and/or eggs:
“Why wont they let a year die without bringing in a new one on the instant, cant they use birth control on time? I want an interregnum. The stupid years patter on with unrelenting feet, never stopping—rising to little monotonous peaks in our imaginations at festivals like New Year’s and Easter and Christmas—But, goodness, why need they do it?”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“One of our defects as a nation is a tendency to use what have been called “weasel words.” When a weasel sucks eggs the meat is sucked out of the egg. If you use a “weasel word” after another there is nothing left of the other.”
—Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
