Spring is here, the grass is turning green, lilies are emerging from the once frozen ground and a visit from the Easter Bunny is just around the corner. And who doesn’t love Easter eggs? There are chocolate ones, caramel-filled delights and – of course – the Cadbury Creme-filled roe of rapture. But, at GeekDad, the type of Easter eggs we like best are the digital ones, those cloaked messages and jokes buried away (or sometimes hidden in plain sight) in our favorite movies, games and computational search engines.

This week’s quiz will put your Easter egg knowledge and Google-Fu to the test. Simply identify the TV show, movie, book, game, Web site or other source where each Easter egg can be found, along with a short description of why each qualifies as an Easter egg. E-mail your solution by Friday night at 10 pm EST and one lucky winner will be chosen to receive a $50 gift certificate from folks at ThinkGeek.
