In the /usr/share/emacs/22.1/etc directory (you can sub your version for the one listed here) you have a collection of very interesting files, musings written by Richard Stallman. Because emacs is open source, these files are in all default implementations of the emacs source code. Now I’m one to occasionally pontificate and write completely random musings, but mine aren’t in pretty much every default installation of all operating systems with Unix underpinnings (including Mac OS X) like Stallman’s are. For example, Stallman has a very nice recipe for cookies (that I’ve actually used) in a file called COOKIES in this folder. There’s also a man page for sex.6 here, which provides the options for use with the sex command, including (but I’m sure not limited to) -1 for masturbation, -l for leather, -W for whips and of course -w for whipped cream. There’s also a man page for condom.1, with such wit as:
The original version of _condom_ was released in Roman times and was only marginally effective. With the advent of modern technology, _condom_ now supports many more options and is much more effective.
In no way shape or form is this a complaint. It’s actually quite the opposite. I’m also just pointing out that RMS is a bit of an odd guy, but his humor, to those of us who spend about as much time reading man pages as we spend sleeping, does stand the test of time. And more power to him. If I could have my random musings so prolific then perhaps I would make sure they had such lasting power as well.
