When I was taking a drafting class in high school (in the mid-80s), I tried creating a crude maze in the CAD program we had and using the fill function at one entrance to the maze, hoping that the fill would progress through the maze. Alas, it didn't work that way.
7th after 9 minutes ... finally got to the end.
First top five! (yay!)

highest finish yet. My son and daughter have been helping me.
got the words, now what?
[14] It's Greek to me.
[17] I owe you one. Thanks. :)
[17] Slap me upside my head
[16] Are they words or names?
try squinting...and [17] helped
Figured out what it is half way through the maze, but misspell the word. So went on finished the maze and eyes really hurting now.
I still have not got this...what am I missing???
Clever. I traced about halfway before the answer became apparent.
Words, names, greeks....
Maze took me approximately 30 seconds to complete - I am still staring at it blankly for a 1/2 hour now....
Just gotta do that post and WHAM! you get the answer - I wonder why that is??
Anyhow - was looking to closely at it...
Good puzzle
well duh!
So is the easter egg in this puzzle someone's daughter?
Geez, I never would have seen it. Had to check the postings and BANG! I saw it. Good puzzle.
[29] Mine. Just about 3 months old. :)
Congratulations... I thought it was part of the answer, but when I googled it all I got was birth announcements.
Earned some major brownie points with the wife when I showed it to her. ;)
thought this was the answer the other night.
Truly the end all be all
Grrr...finished the maze. My eyes aren't working well tonight. :(
I run a mac; used Grab to get a pic of the maze, and then photoshopped it. After trying solutions based on what I THOUGHT the pic looked like, I minimized the photoshop window (to my dock), and in the miniaturized image, the answer quite literally slapped me in the face. This was a particularly fun one.

Cool puzzle.
Very Nice!
nice!
I think it IS about the destination... maybe I'm reading too much into the clue, but I would think it's not about the start...
any thoughts?
Great puzzle!! I was about halfway through and for some reason thought I was stuck. Read the comments ([17]) and even though I was about 1/3 finished, I knew what it was going to be! =-D
(*Duplicate*)
Sorry, thought I mis-hit the Submit button. =-/
Cool puzzle. Sadly it was easier for me than the warm up.
well done
I went chasing a 3 month old for a while, but, after I regained focus, this was easy and enjoyable. Congrats (on both the puzzle and the little one.)
[51] Ducky and I talked about that last night, too.
[17] .. was the clincher for me ..
i was on a sun/moon trail , going nowhere
[31] Wow! Very cool and impressive "bonus". I'm just glad that wasn't the solve method.
EDIT: As for the real solution, we thought it was "head" or "ahead" or "bust"... all words dealing with some sort of traveling/destination... until [17] got us on track.
awesome puzzle. one of the best

This puzzle it's really brilliant
Great puzzle, one of the ones I've enjoyed the most so far! Great solution, and very cool easter egg.
Please show the easter egg tomorrow when the solution is posted... I colored in the dead ends, and I'm not seeing anything but the answer. :)
[63] To see the Easter egg, open the image in Photoshop or the like and use the 'fill' tool to fill an area with color and fill the maze with a dark color. There are some squares in the maze that are a very slightly different shade of white, and will not be filled with the color and will stand out.
Woohoo! Tanga Virgin no more!
[65] saintomer
Happy level to you,
Happy level to you
Happy level saintooooomer
Happy level to you...
Neat puzzle. I like the little bonus. Congrats!
If anyone still doesn't get this, back away from your monitor a few feet and look again. It becomes pretty obvious when you don't have the image zoomed in trying to make words of of the line :P
*Spoilers*
I used The Gimp to solve the maze using the technique here: http://taint.org/2007/06/19/121541a.html
Also if you drop the contrast way down the easter egg will become apparent. Here's a pic after dropping the contrast, and filling.
