Wednesday WTF #3: moo!

This one isn’t really a surprise to me, but I couldn’t really find anything better. Someone posted this nearly two year old unresolved Ubuntu bug to digg.

The bug filer complains that the current cow displayed when someone types apt-get moo does not look like an actual cow. The following is output from my terminal:

bboe@sybok:~$ apt-get moo
         (__)
         (oo)
   /------\/
  / |    ||
 *  /\---/  
   ~~   ~~
...."Have you mooed today?"...

The following is what the cow would look like if today’s patch is accepted:

         (__)
 _______~(..)~
   ,----\(oo)
  /|____|,'
 * /"\ /

...."Have you mooed today?"...

Oh and the new version is a super cow, as can be seen with the cape it is wearing. Haha, wtf? I just love the way open source software works.
