An anonymous reader writes "Today is the 8th annual System Administrator Appreciation Day. It is always the last Friday in July and is the one day that SysAdmins are supposed to get the respect they deserve to be getting the other 364 days of the year. Today is the day that we wish everyone would considering the daunting tasks, small budgets, and ridiculous timelines that many SysAdmins face all year. Please thank them for everything they do for you and for your business. If you think you have a great SysAdmin today would be the day to nominate them for SysAdmin of the Year. 'The idea for System Administrator Day was inspired by a print ad for a Hewlett-Packard laser jet printer. The ad showed lines of employees bringing gifts for the IT guy who made the purchase. System Administrator Appreciation Day has, over the years, garnered support from many organizations."

rm -rf /usr/staff/eldavojohn
mkdir /usr/staff/eldavojohn
wget http://goatse.cx/hello.jpg > /usr/staff/eldavojohn/hello.jpg
chown eldavojohn hello.jpg

"Hello, Human Resources? There's something about one of your employees that you need to know about..."
and they look at the file to see it's just the output of wget.
you should try this:
wget -O http://goatse.cx/hello.jpg > hello.jpg
