Cult Of Mac

I'm a member of the Cult of Mac. There is little Apple can do that is wrong. I realize this is irrational; but that why it's a cult. Anyway, I just saw this article at The Unofficial Apple Weblog detailing a little Easter Egg on every Mac; the US Constitution, among other useful documents and information. This from TUAW;
To see this information from The New Oxford American Dictionary, just launch the Dictionary app from your Applications folder. Once it's up and running, go up to the menu bar and select Go > Front/Back Matter. There you'll not only find such exciting information as who was on the editorial staff and advisory board for the Dictionary, but also a bunch of useful references.

In addition to the aforementioned Constitution of the United States of America, there's also a complete Language Guide, a history of the English language, a list of the fifty states and each state capital, a list of every President of the U.S. from George Washington to George W. Bush (not sure what happened to the current incumbent...), the Declaration of Independence, a list of countries of the world, a list of chemical elements from hydrogen to meitnerium, a cross-reference of standard to metric measure conversions, and the Arabic, Hebrew, Greek and Russian alphabets.

Pretty neat, although they need to update the list of Presidents.
