I just went to update my computer and I guess I typed the wrong password, which isn't very suprising considering my severe lack of touch-typing</a> skills. What is suprising is that instead of the general 'incorrect password' message (or something to that effect), my computer decided to insult me. Slightly confused, I deliberately got the password wrong a second to see what would happen:

It seems that the maintainer of the sudo package on Arch Linux recently decided to enable insults. I personally don't mind - I like my computer having a bit of personality! I'm not sure everyone else would think the same though.
