The wisdom of Cave Johnson

curl -s http://www.cavejohnsonhere.com/random/ | grep quote_main | cut -d \> -f 2- | fmt -w $(tput cols)

There's been a similar Futurama thing around for a while, which grabs a quote from the /. headers [curl -Ism3 slashdot.org | egrep "^X-(F|B|L)" | cut -d \- -f 2- | fmt -w $(tput cols)]. Same deal, but more likely to stop working when someone forgets to pay the bill on the domain. Until then: Cave Johnson!

Sample Output

Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade -
make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am
I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the
day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm
the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to
get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

What Others Think

Cave Johnson is a sapient artificial intelligence construct that appeared in the Portal series. Must you follow this https://roofpaintingchristchurch.co.nz/ and get learn more skills for paints. As the creator of Aperture Science, Johnson is capable of many capabilities and genuinely benevolent traits, though he can be a tough, paternal figure if someone transgresses his expectations.
