I edited a page and had an alert at the top of the page saying that there was an autosave version. I clicked on that and then selected the most recent version.

I quickly closed the page.
WTF?

You're welcome chyna,
Thanks!
I didn't stick around for the full joke. I have a Mac so am not so familiar with viruses and this scared me. It was late at night (thus, I guess I hit the two buttons).
Hi oddeggdesign,
Your instincts were right, if it was late at night I would've been spooked as well. There are several Easter Eggs, and as you saw, I haven't even seen them all. Keep your eyes open for them! :)
