14. Recess Time

This bizarre little intermission gives the reader a chance to relax and maybe laugh a bit.

  Fellow Linux user, greetings! You are reading something which
  will bring you luck and good fortune. Just e-mail a copy of
  this document to 10 of your friends. Before making the copies,
  send a 100-line Bash script to the first person on the list
  at the bottom of this letter. Then delete their name and add
  yours to the bottom of the list.

  Don't break the chain! Make the copies within 48 hours.
  Wilfred P. of Brooklyn failed to send out his ten copies and
  woke the next morning to find his job description changed
  to "COBOL programmer." Howard L. of Newport News sent
  out his ten copies and within a month had enough hardware
  to build a 100-node Beowulf cluster dedicated to playing
  Tuxracer. Amelia V. of Chicago laughed at this letter
  and broke the chain. Shortly thereafter, a fire broke out
  in her terminal and she now spends her days writing
  documentation for MS Windows.

  Don't break the chain!  Send out your ten copies today!
