So great! And then you plussed it with an Easter Egg (418)!

That's not an Easter egg; it's a legitimate status code from RFC 2324 (April 1, 1998):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_418

That doesn't make it not an easter egg, though. Most 'easter eggs' function perfectly for what they are, they're just also amusing and not entirely necessary.

You, sir, have just found the perfect nickname for my girlfriend.

Quite a few RFCs published on April 1st are to be considered with somewhat of a grain of salt, cf. RFC 1149 (http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1149.txt)
