Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Fun fact: In a hilarious misuse of the #! script interpreter mechanism, on Linux (and similar operating systems), if you put #!/bin/cat as the first line of a file and make it executable, it'll dump itself to the current output channel when called by name.

Which is basically what you're describing.

See also: Perl, which will try to interpret almost anything as legitimate code if you don't tell it not to.

I'd go for /usr/bin/strings personally, then it'll allow binary junk too!
