Baboon Logic

I was messing around in the GNU humour section when I came across the Unix Error Messages page, which is an inventive collection of funny error messages you can get in a Unix shell. A lot of them don’t work any more, but some do, and some do it in unexpected ways.

% ar m God
ar: God does not exist

That is what the page says I should get in a C shell. Here is what I got –

$ csh
% ar m God
ar: creating God

Now That was funny.
