This is a sort-of Easter Egg, in that it doesn't appear in software,
or to the naked eye:

Some years ago, at a Major Semiconductor Manfacturer, my wife was
working as a designer, ie. layout artist... As a large IC project
was drawing to a finish (it was a multiplier chip) the team of
a couple of engineers and the designers made up a monogram consisting
of their initials: M,C,B,O,N, and S. The rather neat part was the
way they combined the initials to form the name "McBons" into a
tiny rabbit, sitting up like the Easter bunny... Of course, there
was *just* enough empty space near a corner pad for the design to
fit into the die.
