Command Line easter eggs

Wow I love this! Never tried it before, but I am glad to see developers taking some fun in their work!

LOL, I just found this on the net, open the terminal or the command prompt on Windows, and type: telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

Pretty good, huh? You can watch the entire episode, by the way.

Open terminal, then write:

apt-get moo

Open a terminal? I don't have to open a terminal. I ALWAYS have multiple up and ready.

Since I use Fedora, I fully expected to see "bash: apt-get: command not found". But I forgot that I installed the "apt" RPM package a while back. I've never experimented to see if it works, but your moo subcommand output was suitably surprising. Though the other one did not disappoint: "bash: cowsay: command not found".

OMG i still remember this one, it's an old telnet ASCII animation of Star Wars, it's pure awesomeness.

You can basically do this even on the windows command prompt, that's where i viewed it on.
