Did you know that there is a UNIX command called "tac" which prints the contents of a file from bottom to top, unlike "cat" which prints them top to bottom.

    No idea why but I feel the need to make a russian roulette script which will cat the file, forward args and pipe the content randomly into either tac or cat.

    @linuxer4fun Easter eggs like this is pride of developers. Don't tell me you never added some sneaky feature with some humor.

    @linuxer4fun There is a slight chance that tac has been written by Stallman. The FSF did most of the command line utilities.
