Plenty of easter eggs... Of course, you could just look at the source code, but I had a lot of fun typing in my regular unix commands first. A lot of them were unrecognized, but a few had some funny responses.

Of course, they have these:

make me a sandwich
sudo make me a sandwich

Unrecognized command.
guest@xkcd:/$
