Indeed - and for those new to thw world of *nix there is an old set of filters to do weird stuff to text too - it's a package called 'filters' under Debian... e.g.

This is the story of the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy

Jive:
  Dis is de sto'y uh de Hitch Hikers Guide t'de Galaxy

b1ff:
  THIZ IZ THE S2RY UV THE HITCH H1KURZ GU1DE 2 THE GALAXY

chef:
  Thees is zee stury ooff zee Heetch Heekers Gooeede-a tu zee Gelexy

Seems to be a few newer ones added too:

  Mfpmfffmpmmfmfp Mfpmffpmpmpppfffmm Mfmfmfmffmpmmpp fmpppf fmpmfpmpp
  Mfmmmmpmfmmmfpfffm

scottish:
  'Tis be tha story o' tha Hitch Hikers Guide ta tha Galaxy

(no, I don't get it!)

eleet:

(Hm, instant password generator ;-)


and of-course pig:

  Isthay isway ethay orystay ofway ethay Itchhay Ikershay Uidegay otay

And if you want something really bizarre, try typing:

  bash | jive

then try a few command - e.g. cat /etc/motd
