/cowsay [“text” or --help]

Cowsay is a program which generates ASCII pictures of a cow with a message. It was written in the late 90s as a joke within the hacker culture.

/cowsay moo

 _____
< moo >
 -----
        \   ^__^
         \  (oo)\_______
            (__)\       )\/\
                ||----w |
                ||     ||

/cowsay --help

Usage: /cowsay [-e eye_string] [-f cowfile] [-h] [-l] [-T tongue_string] [-bdgpstwy] "text"

If any arguments are left over after all switches have been processed, they become the cow′s message.

If the command is invoked as /cowthink then the cow will think its message instead of saying it.

Options:
  -b  "Borg", uses == for the cow′s eyes.
  -d  "Dead", uses XX, plus a descending U to represent an extruded tongue.
  -g  "Greedy", uses $ for the cow′s eyes.
  -p  "Paranoid", uses @@ for the cow′s eyes.
  -s  "Stoned", uses ** to represent bloodshot eyes, plus a descending U to represent an extruded tongue.
  -t  "Tired", uses -- for the cow′s eyes.
  -w  "Wired", uses OO for the cow′s eyes.
  -y  "Youthful", uses .. to represent smaller eyes.
  -e  Manually specifies the cow′s eye-type. [default: "oo"]
  -T  Manually specifies the cow′s tongue shape. [default: "  "]
  -h  Display this help message.
  -f  Specifies a cow picture file ("cowfile") to use. [default: "default"]

/rot13

ROT13 (rotate by 13 places) is a simple letter substitution cipher that replaces a letter with the letter 13 letters after it in the alphabet.

Because there are 26 letters (2×13) in the basic Latin alphabet, ROT13 is its own inverse; that is, to undo ROT13, the same algorithm is applied, so the same action can be used for encoding and decoding. The algorithm provides virtually no cryptographic security, and is often cited as a canonical example of weak encryption.

ROT13 is used in online forums as a means of hiding spoilers, punchlines, puzzle solutions, and offensive materials from the casual glance. ROT13 has been described as the “Usenet equivalent of a magazine printing the answer to a quiz upside down”. ROT13 has inspired a variety of letter and word games on-line, and is frequently mentioned in newsgroup conversations.

/rot13 Hello World.
