Enjoy a randomly generated fortune:
$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / Hacker's Guide To Cooking: 2 pkg. cream \ | cheese (the mushy white stuff in silver | | wrappings that doesn't | | | | really come from Philadelphia after | | all; anyway, about 16 oz.) 1 tsp. | | vanilla extract (which is more alcohol | | than vanilla and pretty | | | | strong so this part you *GOTTA* | | measure) 1/4 cup sugar (but honey works | | fine too) 8 oz. Cool Whip (the fluffy | | stuff devoid of nutritional value that | | you | | | | can squirt all over your friends and | | lick off...) "Blend all together until | | creamy with no lumps." This is where | | you get to | | | | join(1) all the raw data in a big | | buffer and then filter it through | | | | merge(1m) with the -thick option, I | | mean, it starts out ultra lumpy | | | | and icky looking and you have to work | | hard to mix it. Try an electric | | | | beater if you have a cat(1) that can | | climb wall(1s) to lick it off | | | | the ceiling(3m). "Pour into a graham | | cracker crust..." Aha, the BUGS section | | at last. You | | | | just happened to have a GCC sitting | | around under /etc/food, right? | | | | If not, don't panic(8), merely crumble | | a rand(3m) handful of innocent | | | | GCs into a suitable tempfile and mix in | | some melted butter. "...and refrigerate | | for an hour." Leave the recipe's stdout | | in a fridge | | | | for 3.6E6 milliseconds while you work | | on cleaning up stderr, and | | | | by time out your cheesecake will be | \ ready for stdin. / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
