Just enter Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, on your keyboard (there's no start button) and your unread items will be reset to 30 and the above ninja will appear to watch you as you cruise RSS feeds. Yeah, it's pointless, but the world is a little bit cooler because of it.

In an interesting twist, your comment is the code to make me feel exactly thirty years older than I really am.

Awesomest thing:
Reading the post about google reader in google reader and then entering the code for said google reader.
On a side note, when you enter the code again, it turns the stuff off.
Also, it just increases all the numbers to 30, it doesn't actually change the read/unread posts.

Works! Awesome!

Back during one of the Digg comment system relaunches entering that code used to expand or collapse all the comment threads. It seems to be gone now, though.

B-B-B-B-BRUSH WITH FAME!
Anyways, I wonder if this was just put in recently, or what?

Nice. Though you should flip the post image so the "moshi moshi" is right-side up :) .

Oh that code has been with me since I was a kid... so glad to see it become popular culture =D
Also, the name of a Deftones song on their Saturday Night Wrist album. Nice ambient track...

It works with digg.com too, but you have to hit ENTER at the end of the sequence.
