When using cowsay, how do I control when the cow divides my message onto
multiple lines? I tried
$ cowsay line1/
>line2

but I got:
____________
< line1line2 >

How can I get the cow to say my motd when I log in via ssh?

To be or not to be, that is the question
2b || !2b
(0b10)*(0b1100010) || !(0b10)*(0b1100010)
0b11000100 || !0b11000100
0b11000100 || 0b00111011
0b11111111
255, that is the answer.
