#14Brilliant -- I love source code easter eggs One of my favorites is on Vimeo - if you crack open the JS console, it pitches you on applying for front in dev work with them.
Hah! That's pretty brilliant. Nicely done, Vimeo. OK, who else has awesome source-code easter eggs?

I'm hoping it's Freddie Mercury.

#19I assume the giant comment is what we're supposed to see, but I'm not sure how that's supposed to have any impact on SEO at all. Seems more like a tribute than a SEO hack.
You obviously know nothing about SEO. Having a Giant face in a comment of your page increases clicks, on average, by 147%. Give or take.

#20What makes you think it's SEO related? I don't think any search index would do anything with HTML comments.
While the markup doesn't do anything for SEO, Easter eggs like this are often created to help generate links back to the particular page from sites like HN...which can boost SEO.
The original submission title was probably tongue-in-cheek, but I'd bet the creator of the page had SEO in mind. Getting a ton of pg lovers who probably also link programming to link to a programming page on the site would be killer for SEO.
This is similar to creating a unique 404 error page that can generate tons of backlinks.
