In the Xbox version of Halo: Combat Evolved, if you create either a new profile, edit an existing one, or creating a map name and call it ".fortune" (Dot located with shift on), a random saying will appear on the screen.

The ".fortune" on the text box will then also instantly disappear, thus rendering ".fortune" an impossible account name. However, if you place a symbol at the beginning (Such as a left parenthesis) to make ".fortune", and subsequently use the arrows to move to and delete the parenthesis when finished, ".fortune" will remain, allowing you to use it as a profile name.

List of Fortunes

All your hard work will eventually pay off.
Everything lies in silence.
If anything just cannot go wrong, it will anyway (The very basic and first of "Murphy's Laws").
Nature always sides with the hidden flaw. (Also a subdivision of Murphy's Law)
Never wear your best pants when fighting for freedom.
Rest is good, but idleness is its ugly brother.
Don't wear your best pants in war. (Rare)
Smile when you're ready.
You cannot fall off the floor. (Also a Murphy's Law)
Your luck is about to change.
Sorry, this fortune is temporarily out of order. (Rare)
I like beans. (Rare)

Notes

This joke is also present in Marathon.
The fortune Easter egg is similar to the fortune command found on some modern Unix-compatible operating systems. Like the fortune command in Unix, the Halo: Combat Evolved egg draws a random quote from a database, albeit much smaller in size than the lists accompanying most fortune implementations.
