Flying Beetle!!!

OK, this is going to sound pretty weird but here goes.

Two days ago I was sat at my PC at home with my T5 in it's cradle when, out of the corner of my eye, I thought I saw something travel across the screen of my Palm. I thought I'd imagined it but I've since seen it three more times. A small yellow VW Beetle flies from right to left across the screen bobbing up and down as it goes. Every time it's happened the T5 has been in it's cradle displaying Megaclock digital clock.

I haven't been hitting the bottle or smoking anything illegal! What's going on here?
 
This sounds like what is called an "Easter Egg". They are secret little hidden tricks you can do on your Palm if you have the right combination of button pushes and stylus strokes in the right application. Do a Google search on "Palm Easter eggs" and see what comes up. What's unusual is that you normally have to do something to make these Easter eggs appear. They don't just do it by themselves.
 
OK after further investigation it appears that it's not a VW beetle drifting across my screen but a taxi. It's a known easter egg but just how I triggered it is beyond me.

As entertaining as it is, does anyone know how I stop this thing?
