Apple Easter Eggs Still Exist

I was digging through some tech notes this morning for work to find some help with this authentication problem I'm bumping into, and I found this gem in the localizatition section of "Authorization for Everyone":

With this right specification you will see that, when prompted to authorize, a user who prefers English over Australian English will see the message "You must be authorized to do alpha." while a user who prefers Australian English over English will see "Strewth! You must be authorised to do alpha.". For Australians it's very important that every sentence contains an expletive (and that "authorised" be spelt with an 's').

It was a needed laugh on a crappy day. Carry on.
