****** And the Imam will follow a Rabbi or Priest around going "Hm?" with a question mark over his head. Also, you can't give the Imam bacon.

** Spawn a walrus, then spawn a bucket. Equip the bucket to you and the Walrus will attack you. Yes, they actually put in lolrus.
** The first major showing of the game was during the 2009 E3 conference, about the same time that the keyboard cat meme was reaching critical mass. Once it was discovered that "keyboard cat" does, in fact, produce a cat playing the piano, the Internet rejoiced.
** Typing in "Ceiling Cat" will get you a downward facing hole with a cat peeking out. "Basement Cat" will get you a black cat. "Orly" will get you an owl.
** "Longcat", "tacgnol", "monorail cat", "lolwut", "giant enemy crab", and "[[ZeroWing all your base are belong to us]]" also all work.
** Typing in "overninethousand" gives you a scouter
** Typing in "anon" will give you a walking black suit and tie with floating sunglasses. It looks like certain [[AnthropomorphicPersonification personifications]] of the infamous [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tropers/Anonymous Anonymous]].
** Spawning "Leeroy Jenkins" will create a knight that attacks the first living thing he sees.
