I’m using: SWI-Prolog version 8.1.9.

I just had a a laugh-out-loud moment with SWI-Prolog. I accidentally typed _MAKE_ instead of _make_ in the console and look what I found:

```prolog
ጀ42 ?- MAKE.
% ... 1,000,000 ............ 10,000,000 years later
% 
% >> 42 << (last release gives the question)

```

To the author of this funny message: " **Thanks for all the fish!** 🙂

Actually it’s any time you enter a variable at the command prompt. That’s even funnier because I guess giving Prolog nothing but a variable name as a query is the same as asking it to tell you the meaning of the universe. 🙂

```prolog
8 ?- JABBERWOCKY.
% ... 1,000,000 ............ 10,000,000 years later
% 
% >> 42 << (last release gives the question)
