Unexpected Man Page Images

Wanted to look up abs() in man pages. Google “man abs” did indeed bring up the man page as the top text hit, but the images were unexpected.

A close-up photograph shows John Carmack wearing glasses with a subtle, knowing smile. The joke plays on the Unix command “man abs,” which should display the manual page for the abs function, while “abs” can also mean abdominal muscles; the unexpected “images” are implied to be photos of abs.
