linux at its best !!!

Yesterday, we had a tech-talk here about srp's guide to writing the best code in the world ever! Sounds funky and too technical rite?....but guys, don't worry i am not gonna impart 'gyan' to everybody by summarizing the tech talk here in ma blog.

The one-liner on srp's(Stephen Payne) t-shirt was something like this :
$ cd /home/etc/pub
$ more beer

Inspired by that, i did some "research"[:D] on the internet about funny linux commands and i came across a bunch of them. Hope you enjoy these commands as much as i did :
