Doesn't do anything funny.

Whereas this is amusing:

guest@xkcd:/$ fuck

I have a headache.

Also, cat anything gives you "You're a kitty!", except for this:

guest@xkcd:/$ cat license.txt

You set your lamp ablaze.

WOOOHOOO, how far might this text adventure go? Now is Hugo online somewhere? Time to boot up Dosbox again.

And reading random xkcd comics, hilarious! Hope I don't waste too much time.

There are xkcd jokes peppered in there.

Try "make me a sandwich" and then "sudo make me a sandwich"

[ArmouredBlood]

heh, goto.

Well it wasn't on April fools, but Rick Astley was in the rotation of music videos playing at the bowling alley yesterday. I doubt it was the intent, but it felt like the entire bowling alley was being rickroll'd. Damn you internet.

You can download Colossal Cave Adventure, the original text adventure, from its Wikipedia page.

On an unrelated note, haha.

Yeah, I read the source code. But everybody needs to find kitten.
