Tips on Finding Easter Eggs, containing many tactics reminiscent of the Taoist wisdom of Sun Tzu. My favorite: "Wait til' your brothers and sisters find them first, then steal them for yourself."

They left out the classic advice against finding brown jellybeans outside and eating them. They are not always jellybeans.

It's like a FARK thread, only a little more sophisticated.

Follow the dog. A small gray poodle with red and purple eggshell on his doggy lips can look amazingly guilty.
(The advice on brown jellybeans is well said!)

My tip for finding Easter Eggs:

Don't be colorblind. I am, and I always had a hell of a time find ing Easter Eggs as a child. Kept on walking right past them. My brothers, who are not colorblind, always did much, much better than me.
