Easter Egg

Upon clicking on the version number,the following chain of 11 messages will appear: (number is which click gives which message,1=first click,2=second click,and so on)

1:Ouch!!

2:Stoppit!

3:Please,it really hurts!

4:Dear lord you're cruel!

5:One last chance..!

6:Or I'll kill all your norns! *grin*

7:Seriously,that was your warning.People think they can just click right over me!

8:Okay,if I have to..!

9:'kay,they're alive,but don't do it!

10:OMG you suck!(Upon displaying this message,all norns in the world will say "byebye hand!" and immediately drop dead.)

11:Shut up,it serves you right!(Any further clicks will yield no result.)

Closing and reopening devthing resets this chain of messages.
