Linux Easter Egg - Apt-Get and Super Cow Powers

1. Type apt-get help. If the egg is present one, there will be a line "This APT has Super Cow Powers."
2. Type apt-get moo and you will see a picture of a cow drawn in ascii and message "have you mooed today?"

You do not need root permissions to do this- just log in as a normal user.

Actually, this is more related to aptitude. Try these commands, one line at a time: aptitude moo aptitude -v moo aptitude -vv moo aptitude -vvv moo aptitude -vvvv moo aptitude -vvvvv moo aptitude -vvvvvv moo

It seems to be inspired by Final fantasy XI, where there is something called "Super kupowers".
