Humour in manpages

I just discovered surfraw in the results of an apt-cache search (love that command) and I had to laugh at the manpage:

DESCRIPTION
       Surfraw provides a fast unix command line interface to a variety 
       of popular WWW search engines and other artifacts
       of power.  It reclaims google, altavista, dejanews, freshmeat,  
       research index, slashdot and many others  from  the
       false‐prophet,  pox‐infested  heathen  lands  of html‐forms, placing 
       these wonders where they belong, deep in unix
       heartland, as god loving extensions to the shell.

I know, I’m a geek, but to me it’s funny.
