You see, I use Firefox. Firefox removed <blink> support a while ago.
This is why the word "html" also blinks on that page.
CSS animations are a more modern feature than <blink> tags, of course -- are you using an old version of Firefox?
I use Chrome, I like it better than Firefox, I also knew blink was deprecated in FF and had the same thought(would this work in firefox?) because I hadn't bothered to check if this was done using CSS or the <blink> tag. Although I didn't consider commenting on it.
Unless you're using a version of firefox older than 24 this is a pretty weird statement.
I did not actually check at that point that it had used <blink> but assumed. This was an error.
As it happens, I run Nightly and for whatever reason the animation is not functioning there. I presume it's faulty browser detection on their part or the lack of a prefix-free version or some such thing.

>Why did Google call the new rendering engine Blink? Upson told me it’s obviously supposed to signify how the focus here is on speed and simplicity. Browser developers, however, also tend to have a tendency to have a bit of fun with their names. Chrome, for example, is all about making the “chrome” disappear as much as possible and Blink, he told me, is meant to remind people of the good old (and annoying) blink tag the Netscape Navigator introduced in the 90s.

A huge part of the appeal of eastereggs is the discovery. Listing them would actually remove that.
It is basically the same as collections of jokes: the are just not as great as one of those jokes randomly being told to you one evening.
Fun and simple.
