Enjoy a randomly generated fortune:
$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / To code the impossible code, This is my \ | quest -- To bring up a virgin machine, | | To debug that code, To pop out of | | endless recursion, No matter how | | hopeless, To grok what appears on the | | screen, No matter the load, | | | | To write those routines To right the | | unrightable bug, Without question or | | pause, To endlessly twiddle and thrash, | | To be willing to hack FORTRAN IV To | | mount the unmountable magtape, For a | | heavenly cause. To stop the unstoppable | | crash! And I know if I'll only be true | | | | To this glorious quest, And the queue | | will be better for this, That my code | | will run CUSPy and calm, That one man, | | scorned and When it's put to the test. | | | | destined to lose, Still strove with his | | last allocation To scrap the | | unscrappable kludge! | | | | -- To "The Impossible Dream", from Man | \ of La Mancha / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
