At 2014-04-20 it is Easter, IOW we need some Easter Eggs.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ pacman -Qi sl | grep Description

type "sl" as you meant to type "ls"

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ sudo systemd-nspawn -D /mnt/debi386

    ~~   ~~   
...."Have you mooed today?"...

At 2014-05-25 it's Towel Day.

[root at archlinux rocketmouse]# pacman -S vim

If I run  :help 42  I don't get an Easter Egg :(.

[root at archlinux rocketmouse]# pacman -R vim vim-runtime

To have a few Easter Eggs installed is nice.
