A while ago, somebody posted a list of stupid programs, mostly
spoof of other ones.  Here's all the followup I could muster.


Hacketris:  Run around a dungeon, kill monsters and catch falling
   shapes.  [Distributed via UseNyet]

HeX:  Typesetter:  AuToMaTiCaLlY cApItAlIzEs EvErY oThEr LeTtEr.
   Requires 7Gb of disk space: more if you want a second font.
   Must be pronounced "hechhh" to rhyme with "Blechhh"), or else
   the author will make you read _The_HeXbook_.  (Also available:
   MetalFONT, for designing baroque logos for heavy-metal
   bands.  [Written by Donald Newt]

Feather:  Compresses tape archives.  Thus, files can be tarred
   and feathered.  [Standard UnixTM utility]

nsh:  NutSHell, the smallest UnixTM shell yet.  Version 1.0
   (the only one released so far) includes only 'cd' and 
   'echo (string constant)'.  GNU-nsh, to be released later
   this year, is expected to be much more powerful, with
   build-in Bourne, Korn and C shell emulators.  The executable
   is expected to go from 306 bytes to 7 Mb with this release,
   however.

Lightspeed Lisp:  Unforutunately, this package will not be 
   released, since the name was deemed to be oxymoronic.

X-rated Windows:  X-rated windowing package.  Includes obscenely-
   shaped windows, salacious prompts, erotic background patterns
   and mouse cursors shaped like genitalia.  Perfect for the
   window user with a twelve-year-old's mind.  Warning:
   susceptible to viruses.

And for all you legal types out there, an actual quote (type?)
from a University of Utah research paper:
   "Unix is a registered bell of AT&T trademark laboratories"
