   build-dep - Configure build-dependencies for source packages
   dist-upgrade - Distribution upgrade, see apt-get(8)
   dselect-upgrade - Follow dselect selections
   clean - Erase downloaded archive files
   autoclean - Erase old downloaded archive files
   check - Verify that there are no broken dependencies

Options:
  -h  This help text.
  -q  Loggable output - no progress indicator
  -qq No output except for errors
  -d  Download only - do NOT install or unpack archives
  -s  No-act. Perform ordering simulation
  -y  Assume Yes to all queries and do not prompt
  -f  Attempt to continue if the integrity check fails
  -m  Attempt to continue if archives are unlocatable
  -u  Show a list of upgraded packages as well
  -b  Build the source package after fetching it
  -V  Show verbose version numbers
  -c=? Read this configuration file
  -o=? Set an arbitrary configuration option, eg -o dir::cache=/tmp
See the apt-get(8), sources.list(5) and apt.conf(5) manual
pages for more information and options.
                       This APT has Super Cow Powers.

What were the Debian/Ubuntu developers thinking?
EDIT:Man, been a few months since I've stopped by here. Hope people still recognize me XD

Try apt-get moo. I think that's it. You'll have a chuckle over that.

What's with Debian having cows embedded into programs?
I know that Gentoo has a cow as it's logo (indirectly)...

Is a cow secretly Debian's logo?

[Vergil83]

you actually don't have to be root to have super cow powers

try

aptitude -v moo

then

aptitude -v -v moo

and again, etc...

That's great! I am so easily amused...
