yeah, I didn't know this:
"The last sixteen bytes of every HyperCard 2.x
stack are the Pascal string "Nu är det slut "
(Now it is over in Swedish) though this is
never seen by users. This was probably a
reference to the 1970s Swedish children's TV show
Fem myror är fler än fyra elefanter ("Five ants
are more than four elephants") where each episode
ended with a pink animated cartoon elephant
saying these words."
