The problem with Easter Eggs in the web era is that as soon as one person finds it, everyone knows about it. Part of the fun in the boxed software era was that you either had to find it yourself or hear about it from a friend.
That being said, we did have an easter egg on reddit for a long time that very few people noticed. Robots.txt included this:
User-Agent: bender
Disallow: /my_shiny_metal_ass
User-Agent: Gort
