If you put in about:%, you wont lose your tabs. Chrome will always give you a prompt to re-open them.

about:internets will play the "pipes" screensaver in the browser if you're using XP. Or happened to import the screensaver into Vista.

Lol.

It works fine in Chromium. I guess we found a bug even though it's supposed to be an easter egg.
