Gates in the Terminal

softer than ever!
If you type a command Unix doesn't know, it will give you a cloase match to see if that is what you want, i.e if I type "Bill" (which isn't a command) it thinks I maybe spelt it wrong and meant "kill", (which is a command).
So it's just a trick, not an easter egg.
You type "Bill Gates", Terminal can't find a BILL command, so it says ok kill gates? (commence laughing), you say yes, and you get a line saying too few arguments - 'cause the "kill" command required a Process ID or job to kill.

(-: Command not found
% %blow
%blow: No such job.
% [got a light?
[got: No match.
% if I had a ( for every $ Congress spent, what would I have?
Too many ('s.
% How would you rate Finder's slowness?
Unmatched '.
% cd ~God
Unknown user: God.
% echo '[q]sa[ln0=aln256%Pln256/snlbx]sb3135071790101768542287578439snlbxq'|dc

naw that last one says something when you cut and paste it into the Terminal: "GET A LIFE!"

This site has a bunch of great UNIX humor. Look for the shell humor files for more of these funny commands.
