Yes, an easter egg in the most boring application of all time: Excel.

When the easter egg starts, you're shown a outer-space 3D environment where you can fly around by moving the mouse. If you are lucky, you will locate a slab in the ground that has scrolling credits of the makers of Excel.

How freaking cool (and scary) is that?

Watch the video with annotations turned on, it will explain how it all works. For those of you who don't want to wait:

1. On a new Worksheet, Press F5

2. Type X97:L97 and hit enter

3. Press the tab key

4. Hold Ctrl-Shift

5. Click on the Chart Wizard toolbar button

6. Use mouse to fly around - Right button forward/ Left button reverse

  • It's always in creepy places...

  • god how our teachers must have despised the devs for putting that in

  • And this was good and the world was at peace and stuff.

  • Me and classmates were asked to go on Excel in an IT lesson, and my teacher was oblivious to this even existing. I went on it, was told off and was able to smugly say that I was indeed on Excel. Cue evil stare. Alright, I'll do my work now.

  • Lol, this looks like something from Gag Films...except it's real.

  • "Winners don't use drugs!" Sry, just had to say that.

  • *comments*

  • And this was good and the world was at peace and stuff.
