Gingerbread easter egg discovered

Back in December when the Gingerbread SDK was released, some folks found an interesting file hidden deep within.  While we still don't claim to understand this level of artistic genius, at least we know why it was there.  Now if we only knew why it was there.  Check out the video and play along if you have the hardware. [XDA-Developers] Thanks James!

This is a background you can also find if you have ADW Ex as your launcher with the Gingerbread theme installed. Then go to Wallpaper->Baked Goods to find the zombie Gingerbread paper.

everyone thinks this 'easter egg' is cool but i bet this is some sort of security feature like watermarks on checks or money...

What's up with not having an "Optimized for Mobile" version of Flash on the site devoted to a mobile OS?
