Here's what I think about the writing on the inside of Mhenlos shirt...As Edge said, chakra means wheel, which is in the shape of a circle (for all the toddlers out there), so perhaps Alesia said that as a reminder to Mhenlo to heal everyone equally or to heal the team in a certain, circular order...or something to that effect...
Also, if you look closely, Mhenlo has a tattoo of George Carlin on his left ass cheek....yeah....

I know someone mentioned this earlier but I found a collector named Agrippa Stonehands, if that is significant to anyone.

One of the peasants during the Day of the Tengu said that the holiday reminded him of a holiday in his hometown. One that included 'Wacking snakes with wooden sticks'. Simpsons anyone?

sorry if this has already been mentioned, but the ascalon guards mention different funy phrases if you click them. some include 'Don't let my brother catch you looking at me like that' and 'I'd talk to you, but then i'd have to talk to you.'

My little contribution, though not an easter egg:
I believe, based on what I've seen, that the devs have inserted the names of the Seven Samurai (from Kurosawa's move of the same name) in Factions. So far I've spotted three.
Where the first three, and the rest, are located, I shall leave it as an exercise to the reader. :P

+ Collector Varis (presearing, Fort Ranik) collects spider legs. In the books, one of the craftiest characters is aka The Spider. + Ben Wolfson (presearing, ranger you rescue north of the wall) is a reference to Ben(jen) Stark. In the novels, he's lost north of their own wall, and his house symbol is a wolf. + A blood mage henchman is named Valyr Morghulez (not sure where to get)--exactly to the letter, this is an oft-repeated line by one of the characters when she kills. + A centaur dude is named Drogo Greatmane, a sorta tribe leader character in the books whose hair was never cut (a sign of defeat). These people are also known for their use of horses (centaurs being half horse, of course). Great game, great books!
OMG ive read Song of Ice and Fire at least 50 times(the series) and i never picked up on this. I swear there is areference to arya somewhere in this game.

This is a silly question, but I read all the pages of this easter egg list to see if someone knows what the male monk dance is. It looks sort of like Tai Chi but I'm not sure. I thought after all this time, someone would know, but I don't see it anywhere. Can anyone tell me???
Also, the female monk dance is from House of the Flying Daggers, since I didn't see that on the list either. Its a scene with the blind prostitute main character (the Memoirs of a Geisha chick), and a policeman challenges her to a game where he throws beans at drums that surround her in a semi-circle. She has to follow the sounds of the beans as they hit the drums by hitting the same drums with her long sleeves. After the first two or three, he throws the whole bowl of beans at the drums, and she manages to hit all the drums they hit by turning it into this beautiful intricate dance. It's one of my favorite scenes in the movie. It took me about 3 times to realize my female monk did that dance, even the flip kick at the end. Nice job A-net for putting that in  Oh, and no one mentioned the mesmers either--Riverdance anyone? lol I am Lord of the Dance!

This one isn't that big of a deal, but in Tyria, there is a town called Beetletun. One of ArenaNet's level designers is Dave Beetlestone. What are the odds that he worked on that town?

When you kill Naga in Factions, they often drop Naga Hide, which then is crafted into cheesy naugahyde furniture.
Also in Factions, one of the Luxons sends you on a quest to find an enchanted cowbell in a field of blue oysters. I have a feevah... and the only cure... is MORE COWBELL! Ethelion
Okey, I didn't read all the pages, cause there are alot of them.
Anyway, in Factions n00b area, you can get a quest called Return of the Yeti. Which is ofcourse referenced to Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.

In pre-Searing, when you have Gwen along, you'll find her mother near the res shrine. if you click on her mother, she says something about someone feeling poorly. I can't remember the exact quote, but it is from Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit books.

AAAGGHHH!!! Will people stop saying that? Sorry, but it's a pet peeve of mine when credit is not given where it is due, and this is one of the most frequent misquotes I've seen! Yes, the reference is in the Summoner video... but the audio in that clip is not original, it is taken from an audio commedy bit titled "Dungeons and Dragons" by the group The Dead Alewives. The sketch is entirely audio, and there is more to it than what you hear in that video. Yes the video is cool, but all they did was set some animation to what someone else had already scripted and recorded. So while the Summoner video may be funny, it's blatant copyright infringement. If you're going to quote it, quote the true source please!

Thats not what Lukas says, He says "I'm really left handed!" None the less, I think the reference stands.
