TMPL resources in HIToolbox.rsrc

Wow, this is pretty scary! ;)
I opened the system reource file HIToollox.rsrc in HexEdit, copied the contents of the data fork to the resource fork, an opened it in ResKnife.
Then I took a look at the resources, and... there I found the same kind of resources as in plug-in's for a game called Escape Velocity! Weird!
Take a look at the names of the resources, many of them are the same!

desc -descripiton of ships and outfits
flet -space ship fleets
govt -governments
junk -special stuff
misn -mission
nebu -nebulas
oops -(not sure, but I think it was News or anything like that)
outf -spce ship outfits
pers -persons
ship -ships

And some more, they are all templates from Escape Velocity, in a Mac OS X resource file! THIS is what I call an easter egg!

Can anyone explain THIS?...
