Ginkgo,

That page piqued my curiosity as well, and I did a little research. I have no idea what the signifigance of the number is. Perhaps it corresponds with similar text in the Holy Bible? Here's some more from the Book of Mozilla: http://www.gate.net/~shipbrk/mozilla.html

I first learned about the dragon trick here: http://www.uconect.net/~vead/moz_shrine.htm

The idea is that when you type about:mozilla in the location bar, your little Netscape icon in the top right corner changes from moving stars to a roaring Mozilla (the original Netscape mascot and the old name for the Netscape browser). The aformentioned URL specifies that this only works in registered versions, so I diligently went about trying to register my Netscape programs. Of course, you can't. The latest news is that the dragon was a feature of some ancient Mozilla program, from before I had even heard of the internet.

Another fun trick is control-ALT-F for the amazzing fishcam. There's a bunch more listed here and there. Here's one such list: http://home.cern.ch/~rigaut/about.html

It's funny, they do still use Mozilla from time to time. Didn't I see him bounding over hurtles when I used SmartUpdate to load v4.5 just the other day?

Have fun!

Tyler
