Question
New to Minecraft are desert pyramids with a bunch of colored wool in them. The wool at the very center is blue and apparently a "surprise" is deployed if you were to remove it.
What does happen exactly? The pyramid collapses? TNT fountains? Mega-charged-creeper army? An ancient curse turns into a mooshroom? Eleventy thousand chickens suddenly attack you Zelda style?
Answer
There is a deep pit with 4 chests (which contain various items: iron and gold ingots, diamonds, emeralds, bones...) and a pressure plate in the middle. Underneath the pressure plate are 9 blocks of TNT which explode after some time if you step on it.
The player in this screenshot is in the place of the removed blue wool block. One piece of sandstone at the bottom has been removed by me to show the TNT. The room is well lit because there is a hole in the ceiling right above the blue block.
You can easily avoid the pressure plate if you dig out one of the adjacent blocks to the blue one (note that now the pit will be much darker), but the fall is still quite deadly and takes 4 hearts.
And here is a video that demonstrates this:
