Not quite 2k though. Isn't there something similar in the python stdlib as well? An xkcd reference or something?

Yes, there's `import this`. But, as I commented below already, one thing is interpreter having command you don't use, and another — compiler, advertised as "close to metal" adding trash in your binaries.

`import antigravity`, as well.

Not to mention `from __future__ import braces`.

and

  from __future__ import braces
    File "<stdin>", line 1
  SyntaxError: not a chance

Also 0xCAFEBABE which is the Java class file magic number and apparently comes from a cafe frequented by James Gosling that was "a pretty funky place that was definitely a Grateful Dead Kinda Place":

I love it how Array#forty_two equals self[41].
