Yeah, I found it, thanks... I had to use my laptop cause I guess the version on my pc is too old to have that option. Saved $14 in shipping though...

You can supposedly find not only the meaning of life; but, an Easter egg as well by following these instructions:

Why do we rake leaves?

If you have a lot of leaves, they will kill the grass. Also, even if you don't have that many leaves, some people find them unsightly.

Leaves fall in the autumn, which is followed by winter, during which the grass is in a dormant state. If anything, the ground covering of fallen leaves should provide insulation against the cold weather. By the time the growing season begins anew, the leaves should have decomposed and will be able to function as fertilizer. One might even say that eons of evolutionary processes have designed the leaves and the ground-covering vegetation to interact in this manner. So why do we rake leaves?

But in reality, the leaves have not decomposed, and they kill the grass.

Have you ever seen grass growing in the woods? No. You haven't.

Only humans are dumb enough to plant trees over grass. But we like the carpet that grass provides and the shade that trees provide. The downside is we have to rake.

Edit: Depending on the quantity of leaves, you can also sometimes mulch them into the grass with your lawn mower. YMMV.
