moo (revisited)

You might remember some fun I had earlier with aptitude and its hidden Easter egg. I asked, nay, begged a friend in irc to tell me what that diagram meant but he refused, only to say it was from a really good book.

A couple of days ago, I saw a thread on the debian-user mailing list about a Package of The Day website, and the author of said site must have seen my blog in my mailing list sig and read about the previous aptitude Easter egg post. It turns out all I needed to do was add another v to my command...

All right, you win.

Ok, so now I know what the picture is, but I am still in the dark as to what book it is from and what kind of snake could possibly eat an elephant.

Tomorrow we will discuss why 14 days after being given a 30GB video iPod for my birthday, I have still yet to listen to a single song on it.
