Geek humor

I can be such a geek. I checked out the man page for false, and the very first sentence I read cracked me up:


# man false

FALSE(1) User Commands FALSE(1)

NAME
false - do nothing, unsuccessfully



This is obviously a play on "do nothing, in style", but then digging a little deeper, one wonders if this is a subtle caricature of socially inept and untalented, diffident individuals. My moment of Zen.
