If you are reading this and you are a Linux Command Line Interface (CLI) user, then you may be interested in occasionally beautifying your CLI output with the use of various (often comical) ASCII artwork using the programs cowthink or cowsay, such as below:

$ ping -c 5 google.co.za | cowthink -W 60

Want to know what sort of cows or ASCII artwork is available to your install? You need only use the command:

$ ls /usr/share/cowsay/cows
