Awk, you sed grep.
Getting pretty far afield here, but here are some amusing things to type into your Unix shell.
% "How would you rate Reagan's incompetence?
% [Where is Jimmy Hoffa?
% ^How did the sex change^ operation go?
% If I had a ( for every $ Reagan spent, what would I have?
% make love
% sleep with me
% got a light?
% man: why did you get a divorce?
% ^What is saccharine?

Ah yes. Back in the day, you could put "I'd like to see Bill Gates get his ass kicked" into Microsoft Word (circa Word 97), and ask the thesaurus for synonyms. It would return "I'll drink to that". (this one was a party trick... anything starting with "I'd like to see..." would return "I'll drink to that". You could lead folks down all kinds of paths with this)
Also, you could spell check "zzzzz" and it would return "sex".
BTW, this shows that the shell is atheist (and how great thou art):
%ar t God
And why cats need opposable thumbs:
%cat "food in cans"
I forgot about %sleep with me. Heh.
When we were working on ClarisWorks 1.0, I was reviewing a draft manual, and came across a spell check example correcting "... the clients will be screned in London..." to "... the clients will be screwed in London...". I've always regretted pointing it out.
I'm having a bit of a kernel panic, so I need to get a run in.
Never fear, though, I previously (core dumped).

Hey, I appreciated learning about the Air. I'm not in the market for a new personal computer right now, but I will be by this time next year. That should give them time to identify and eliminate the bugs in the inaugural edition.

And then you can necromance this thread.
Yeah, look what you caused.
I've got a fever...
Speaking of Macs, just redeemed a bunch of air miles for a 13" MacBook Pro.
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
