"i read the source code": "<3",
pwd: "You are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike.",
lpr: "PC LOAD LETTER",
"hello joshua": "How about a nice game of Global Thermonuclear War?",
xyzzy: "Nothing happens.",

hello: "Why hello there!",
who: "Who are you?",
'xkcd': 'Yes?',
'su': 'God mode activated. Remember, with great power comes great ...
aw, screw it, go have fun.',
'fuck': 'I have a headache.',

oneliners.emacs = "You should really use vim.";
oneliners.vi = oneliners.vim = "You should really use emacs.";
Preceding something with "sudo" results in "OK".
