There are a lot of Easter eggs in MSO, but there's no reason OOo should
have them in the release version, so I've submitted a bug report.

Why does this matter? The very nature of an easter egg is that you have to
hunt to find them. I've never seen a corporate exec demand the removal of
an office suite for the presence of an easter egg. This is pointless.
There are people who like them, and it's much more trouble than it's worth
