I'm sure some of you already knew this, but it was news to me...

I've just been watching a recording of the very first episode of "Monty Python", which includes the "Funniest Joke In The World" sketch:
[This version from "And now for Something Completely Different"]

The German translation used in the sketch is actually a nonsense phrase, but is officially given as:
"Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!"
Now: if you put that into Google Translate, it triggers an Easter Egg: instead of the German translation, you get:
[FATAL ERROR]
Google Translate: Funniest Joke in the World!
