Google Mobile's Secret

Remember CD's with secret songs? The last track would be like twenty minutes long, and the last five or so was an unlisted, "bonus" number. The good folks at Google have left one more present under the tree, and it's what I would call an app version of the secret song.
It's nothing Earth-shattering, although some of you may be scratching your head, wondering why you haven't found it yet. I don't think it has been there all along -- I think it was slipped in with the most recent update a couple of weeks ago. If so, those that balked at Google's 0.3.143 update must feel chagrined with the discovery of a new menu in Settings - Bells and Whistles.
It takes a few tries but it's really easy to get to. If you go to Settings and scroll down to the bottom of the page, it looks like the menu ends at About. But try scrolling below that, you'll have to do it a couple of times, and Bells and Whistles will pop up. From there, well, you can change a few of the Apps bells and whistles. Good job, Google.
