When I found out that facebook has an easter egg like this (http://www.manu-j.com/blog/cool-easter-egg-in-facebook/257/) I was surprised. Is it worth paying the extra bandwidth for a joke that 99% of users don't even know about and the other 1% will try once and never again?

That bandwidth has to be expensive when you are dealing with facebook crowds.

The `code` parameter should take an array literal (which is then converted with `.toString()`, as `Array.prototype.toString()` might not always return a certain string.

Edit: Why is my markdown literal not being converted? _foo_ __bar__, and [baz](#up_606627).
