Can someone explain this linux joke to me?

Type cat vmlinuz > /dev/audio to hear the Voice of God.

Thx in advance

It should be:

cat /vmlinuz > /dev/audio

What it does; it sends data of the kernel image (/vmlinuz) to the audio device. You should hear a crackling sound through your speakers.

I just tried...god has a cold...

If you type:

cat /dev/urandom > /dev/audio

you'll eventually hear the sound of 10,000 monkeys typing Hamlet.
