The problem with Unix and its thousand spawn is that using it causes SAN 
loss. Windows may be Satanic, but Unix is Lovecraftian. 

o BSD Unix was programmed by Deep Ones, who started a fad for wearing long 
hair in Berkeley - the better to hide their gill slits. 

o The help pages in Unix won't - and can't - help you very much, because the 
OS is full of things that MAN was not meant to know. 

o The "mnemonics" for Unix commands make perfect sense - if you are fluent in 
Ugo-R'lyehian. But not for those who are fortunate enough to know only human 
languages, and not the weird tongues spoken by indescribable horrors from 
beyond space and time. 

o And now the cultists, under the new name of "Linux," attempt to rouse the 
Dread One once more from where he lies, dead but dreaming. Once more they seek 
to loosen his chains, speaking the words that were old when humans first 
descended from the trees...

     Ia! Ia! Sed! Awk! Grep!
     When the stars are right the kernal will compile!
     Sed! Awk! Grep! Chmod! Chmod!
