GCC Easter Eggs?

Hello Everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone has seen any easter eggs in GCC dissamblies?
Reason I ask is I was debugging a bit of code recently and saw a lot
of pointers all to the same place in memory, even though they should
have been completely different values.
(this=0x85cafe0)
I got to looking alot closer at the code (Note I am debugging this
code I did not write it)
And figured out that they were ALL uninitialized pointers!
Anyways I don't know if it was fluke or an easter egg, but it looks
like an easter egg to me!

Anyone ever notice anything else like that, maybe even some tips for
things to look for in the future?

Regards,
