Call me crazy, but I just can't help but keep clicking that damn link, hoping to find the real Easter egg when I "blow the stack"...

Only hit the first few magic numbers so far, but I'm kinda nervous about bombing Google with too many requests in a short period of time, I doubt they look kindly on that...ah well, better things to do with my time anyhow.

They might throw you the odd CAPTCHA but apart from that I doubt they'd do anything.

What if the CAPTCHA reads "Did you mean recursion?"

I don't think you can blow the stack. They do Tail Recursion Optimization, meaning they don't maintain a stack of previous web pages since the information isn't required anymore.
