Script Summary: MAKES IT START at metafilter
On April Fools' Day 2008, the background colors on MetaFilter slowly changed from their normal colors to radically different colors while people read any page on the site. The change was very slow, it took several minutes before you could even tell that something odd was going on. Some JavaScript that slightly incremented and changed the background color did the trick. You can read members' reactions in the two MetaTalk threads from that day:
