\item[cowsay] A command line utility that produces an ASCII picture of a cow saying whatever text you input on \texttt{stdin}. The package includes a few variations (called, naturally ``cow files'') which are typically located at \texttt{/usr/share/cowsay}; you can view these by using the \texttt{-l} flag, and use one with the \texttt{-f} flag. Typical output looks like:
\begin{verbatim}
______________
< Linux rocks! >
--------------
\ ^__^
\ (oo)\_______
(__)\ )\/\
||----w |
|| ||
\end{verbatim}
You can also pipe the \texttt{fortune} utility to it:
\begin{verbatim}
-----------------------------------
/ You teach best what you most need \
\ to learn. /
-----------------------------------
\ ^__^
\ (oo)\_______
(__)\ )\/\
||----w |
|| ||
\end{verbatim}
