Normally I would consider it an error of the parsing script of =
blockchain (seen that before), however, this seems genuine enough.

the second transaction is the most amusing - it has an output script =
which is:
OP_HASH256 =
000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f =
OP_EQUAL

The hash is the most famous bitcoin hash... - so if you can come up with =
something that, when hashed with sha256 yields the genesisblock hash you =
can claim one BTC ;)

It is actually very easy to do (!), however, it is a game only for =
miners, as non_standard transactions are not relayed between standard =
clients. So now a miner can have a go creating a transaction redeeming =
this 1BTC.

Perhaps, Eligius creating that block, might be playing a little =
christmas game :)

Cheers,

Michael
