* CheatersNeverProsper: Clicking on your money in the shop earns you a dollar, and the achievement "Give an Inch...". Clicking on it a second time ''removes'' a dollar, and earns the achievement [[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/give_them_an_inch_and_they%27ll_take_a_mile#English He'll Take A Yard]].



* JokeItem: The Brick. Unlockable by clicking an empty spot in the Gliders menu, it's completely pathetic with no real top speed or flight capabilities. That said, you do get an achievement for destroying an obstacle with it.
* NoAnimalsWereHarmed: A message may sometimes appear saying that "No penguins were harmed in the making of this game. The fake sandbag-penguin however is being thrown purposely at icebergs, and it hurts its feeling…"

** If you fall, there's a chance that Zeus as a penguin will tell you to fly some more and lift you off the ground. He says "RiseFromYourGrave" which is ripped straight from ''VideoGame/AlteredBeast''. Originally, this was thought to be [[BuffySpeak triggerable]] once, but it can be triggered twice - once for flying forwards, and once for flying backwards.
