"What is =rand()? An urban myth, a bug, an Easter egg?

The truth is rather boring, =rand(200,99) is a function Microsoft really did included by design. The urban myth is that =rand(200,00) is a bug with Word for Windows. A variation of this urban myth is that Microsoft programmers left an 'Easter Egg*' in the program.

Despite the prosaic truth that this is neither a bug nor an urban myth, you could baffling your friends by challenging them to type the phrase =rand(200,99) in their copy of Word for Windows 2003 or =rand.old(200,99) in Word 2007."(http://www.guy-sports.com/humor/urban_myth/urban_myth_rand.htm)
