This article is for rec.humor, maybe, with no technical content.

Sorry, but, could you teach me in which language the subject is written?

First, I assumed Japanese (in Romaji). But, even trying to do full error
corrections on possible misspellings and other errors, I can't make
the subject meaningful. Yes, "Ohta" is my name and "enpitsu" is pencil.
But that's all I can recognize.

...... Aha! Yes, your meaningless subject reflects the content of your
article better than mine.

I can't make the subject more insulting to you. You are the real genius.

You are mentally handicapped. That's all what I wanted to say.

Are there any new book of Knuth published on April 1?

"default for cat"? Have you checked your dictionary? A cat is an animal,
a mamal.

Oh! You are talking about computers, then "cat" should be a name of a command.
Yes, on OS/9, "cat" means "catalog", something like "ls" of UNIX. Or, on
UNIX, "cat" means something different. It is a name of a photo typesetter.
But, it should have been obvious from the context that "cat" is "catalog".

The default for "cat" is the current drive.

Now, I admit that I can't make my article more laughable than yours.
So, I discontinue. You have finally won.
