Another similarly whimsical command is `sl`. (purportedly a common mistyping of ls) https://github.com/mtoyoda/sl

I'm a fan of Steam Locomotive personally - https://github.com/mtoyoda/sl

https://github.com/mtoyoda/sl > SL (Steam Locomotive) runs across your terminal when you type "sl" as you meant to type "ls". It's just a joke command, and not useful at all.
