Whilst many across the internet misattribute the original ’Easter Egg’ in media to Rocky Horror’s accidental inclusion of a few after an Egg Hunt on set, there’s an interesting HuffPo piece on the first Easter Egg, created by Atari.

Ah, the St. Augustine quote I lived by for too much of my life, and my fave Edith Piaf song. Thanks!
Glad you liked it! Yes, the quote's a great one - and one I'm still living by - and it's always great to hear the Piaf song.
Fun stuff--but your Asteroid City link is broken
Thanks for letting me know - I've repaired it on the web version.
