Just a short note this morning: I have to admit I found this Unix koan particularly amusing.
I am a little disappointed in myself though. I spend pages and pages of digital real estate explaining the natural efficiency of text-based systems, and someone else can condense it into a brief and pointed story. 😐
I have much to learn. 
Take your time and skim through some of the other koans on that site. While I can’t vouch for their metaphysical value, they are at least an interesting way to look at the art of computing.
Thanks to cantrell for sending it along. 😉
That was funny:)
Eric Raymond is one smart dude.
Choose well what you learn.
I came up with a sequel (not that lyric though);
After making his way out of a trash bin, the programmer said “aos dash z slash k”. Master Foo raised his left eyebrow.
“zzs exclamation sign o dash dash y” — he went on; Master Foo turned his head towards the programmer.
The programmer concluded “kkk \”Master Foo\”” and, moments after, Master Foo was on his Great Way of Unix into /dev/null.
