The debian guys have a good sense of humor:

This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers.
mikeage@linode ~$ apt-get -h | tail -n 1
This APT has Super Cow Powers.
mikeage@linode ~$ aptitude moo
There are no Easter Eggs in this program.
mikeage@linode ~$ apt-get moo

….”Have you mooed today?”…
mikeage@linode ~$ aptitude -v moo
There really are no Easter Eggs in this program.
mikeage@linode ~$ aptitude -vv moo
Didn’t I already tell you that there are no Easter Eggs in this program?
mikeage@linode ~$ aptitude -vvv moo
Stop it!
mikeage@linode ~$ aptitude -vvvv moo
Okay, okay, if I give you an Easter Egg, will you go away?
mikeage@linode ~$ aptitude -vvvvv moo
All right, you win.
