Didn't I already tell you that there are no Easter Eggs in this program?
Keep on adding -v's until after it gives you an Easter Egg.

When he was six years old, I looked once a special drawing in a book that was about the Virgin Forest, called "stories". The film expresses nothing less than a snake boa constrictor swallowing a wild beast. Here is a copy of the drawing.
The book said: "Snakes boas catch their prey and swallowed whole, without chewing. This does not allow them to move and sleep for six long months in which elapses digestion." It was then that I thought a lot about the adventures of the jungle and a good day, I took a crayon drawing and got my number 1. It was like this:

I decided to show my first masterpiece to adults, and asked if my drawing scared them.
- "Why scare us a hat?" - I responded.
But my drawing, was not really a hat. Was a boa snake that had swallowed an elephant.
Same as this egg

Mikäkö se on? Sehän on boa-käärme, joka sulattaa elefanttia.
In free translation, it says:
first: Here is nothing hidden
second: Here is absolutely nothing hidden
third: Didn't I say that here is nothing hidden in this program?
fourth: STOP!
fifth: Ok, If I'll show you something hidden, would you stop then?
sixth: the text: Ok, you won
seventh: so what is it? It is a boa-snake melting an elephant...
