This is definitely a prank, and we're highly amused that anyone thought we might be serious!

Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma; Those are all the same base attributes as in Dungeons and Dragons. The same Dungeons and Dragons created by Gary Gygax, who recently died. Normally the attributes are whole numbers and the attributes of characters will range from 3 to 18.

Regards,

There is going to be a very boring April Fools Day on Google Docs now that the cats out of the bag.

Oh well, it was a good idea.

Update: We now got confirmation it's not an April Fool's hoax preparation... it's indeed an easter egg.

Colin, I suppose it's impossible (yet), but dunno for sure!

Sounds like the ODP dmoz.org April 1st hoax we did in 2002. Clippy would pop-up and make suggestions, we even had an Eliza clone so that Clippy would talk with users.
