i keep thinking of commands there should be so that they can be prefixed with "man" in the way that "man cat" is quite funny. Cos

Stupid Unix Tricks

% scan for <<"Arnold Schwarzenegger"^J^D "Arnold Schwarzenegger": << terminator not found% "How would you rate Quayle's incompetence? Unmatched". % ^How did the sex change^operation go? Modifier failed. % make love Make: Don't know how to make love. Stop. % sleep with me bad character % got a light? No match. % man: why did you get a divorce? man:: Too many arguments. % ^What is saccharine? Bad substitute. % cat 'the can of tuna' cat: cannot open the can of tuna $ mkdir matter; cat>matter matter: cannot create

$ drink bottle: cannot open opener: not found

HILARIOUS! now if only we could replace all these useless "threads" with dilbert comics this place would really rock!

>cat 'the can of tuna'
cat: the can of tuna: No such file or directory

>make love
make: *** No rule to make target `love'. Stop.

Darwin BSD hates fun

Well, ever since I "got creative" with the lens grinding software for the Hubble Telescope, NASA has had a "shoot on sight" policy...
