This reminded me of a relevant scene from Curb Your Enthusiasm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_1FbjuJp4E

11 months and no emacs port yet? Preposterous! I guess it's not needed, Emacs users are already happy :-)

Case in point: we have nyan-mode.

  #!/usr/bin/ex -u
  smile
  quit

Alias all commands to this script for unlimited fun.

Having (2015) in the title would be nice :)

They put 2005 instead, close enough.

I just tried this "easter egg" on the latest version of MacVim. Pretty cool. It appears also to be a tribute the the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Also, If you search help by typing ":help smile", it says "You found it, Arthur! holy-grail ", a reference to Arthur Dent. Now, if we can only implement this on Emacs...

In the same vein, do try ":help 42" as well... :)
