    Linux T-Shirt Jokes

    I'm sure you've seen them before, a shirt with some kind of clever Linux jokes that you have to stare at for a second to get. Just for example, a shirt that says, "There's no place like ~/", or the infamous "man woman: no manual for 'woman' found".

    In any case, I can't find any of my favorites on ThinkGeek anymore, but what ones do others remember?

    The whole topic came to me because I saw a guy with a home-made one at Target the other day. On the front it read

    Code:
    see_front()
    [
         echo "How do you keep an idiot busy?"
         see_back
    ]
    and on the back

    Code:
    see_back()
    [
         see_front
    ]

    I kind of thought it kind of butchered the joke, but was curious to see if any of you guys could think of or have seen better.

    I really loved the /dev/mug but can't find it anymore.

    I was thinking about having one made at the copy shop with this:
    /dev/mug
    brwx-w--w- freston freston
    But I wasn't really sure about the syntax. A mug, is that a valid block device? Assuming write permission means filling, and execute permission means drinking, then what is read permission? I'm just not sure


    Also I'd like a t-shirt with 'root' on the back, in the same style as those shirts with 'crew' or 'security'.



    By the way, when you read this question:
    echo "How do you keep an idiot busy?"
    You could have answered: bash: syntax error near unexpected token `['
    Can't tell an OS by it's GUI

    I have a T-Shirt that reads

    chown -R us: /base

    and another that reads

    There are 10 types of people in the the world
    Those that understand binary
    and those that don't
    If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate! (Zapp Brannigan)


    My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.

    Heh, yeah, the true art of coding is to make the code executable.

    Also, I just thought of one...

    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    locate /bin/laden
    if [ $? != 1 ]; then
        mv /bin/laden /jail/bin/laden && sleep 15 y && exec /jail/bin/laden&
    else
        cd /iraq
        :(){ :|:& };:
    fi
    ...but I think it's a little late... As well as maybe too obscure and controversial.

    A simpler one might be

    locate /bin/laden

    Yeah, but it's been done. Didn't think of the "/bin/laden" part myself after all.
