Me the COMPLETE, UNCUT, ORIGINAL, and OFFICIAL Silly Cow collection!
That page states (excerpt:) Besides digrams and charts, probably the earliest ASCII art from the InternetĪre the "Spy at the Wall" collection and the "Silly Cows" collection.ĭavid Bader, an ASCII art enthusiast and editor of the 'Cows", recently sent I did a few seaches and found out a geocities page talking about it. I believe this easter-egg comes from someone reading those at that time. And IIRC in one of them it started to feature a cow, then some other posts featured more cows, then a post was entirely dedicated to several cows ascii-arts. I remember that there was tons of ascii-art circulating in the early days of Usenet. I believe this comes a long way, from the "pre-http" era. cow files so you can swap other ones in, in place of the cow, such as tux. It also includes the ability to use alternate. You can also use either of these to pass your own strings: $ cowthink 'I love Fedora, Debian? Not so much!' It doesn't matter what you do, it only \ I've been using these for years on Fedora (I believe they predate 1999) and were used as a way to display fortunes in a more interesting way. I always assumed that this feature derived from cowsay & cowthink. What is it? It's an elephant being eaten by a snake, of course. Okay, okay, if I give you an Easter Egg, will you go away? There really are no Easter Eggs in this program.ĭidn't I already tell you that there are no Easter Eggs in this program? There are no Easter Eggs in this program. This led to a certain range of cow based jokes. As with cows in pasture others would often Moo back in greeting. Once a long time ago a developer was known for announcing his presence on IRC with a simple, to the point 'Moo'. He has (likely in response to this question) written a post on Google+. If there is more to the story, Jason is probably the person to ask. The corresponding aptitude easter eggs (see below) were added later by Daniel Burrows as a homage, I think. :-) Anyway, I think the apt-get moo thing was added by him as a joke.
During its early days, Jason Gunthorpe was its main maintainer/developer. Cow first became Supercow in the pilot, "No Smoking." She whistles musically as seen in the episode: Chicken Lips.Apt started its life around 1997 and entered Debian officially around 1999. Her alter ego Supercow speaks Spanish, and in several episodes exclaims: "¡Supercow al rescate!" ("Supercow to the rescue!") In the Spanish-language dub of the show, this works in reverse-Cow speaks Spanish while Supercow speaks English. Supercow's powers lie in a green blanket and her outfit is purple with a logo on the chest which resembles that of Superman. Her frequent quote is "Fairy Princess!" whenever she sings in excitement.Ĭow's alter ego is "Supercow", a superhero with the ability to fly.
Cow has employed Blackmail to get Chicken to do what she wants and often attempts to get the other characters to do the right thing. She is the only character to appear in every episode of the show. She is often viewed by Chicken as infantile and stupid, and is quickly prone to emotional outbursts. Cow looks up to Chicken, who she refers to as "Big Brother". Her trademark is her ironically exaggerated over-sized udder.
