cowsay is a configurable talking cow, originally written in Perl by [Tony Monroe](http://www.nog.net/~tony/).

This project is a translation in JavaScript of the original program and an attempt to bring the same silliness to node.js.

## Install

    npm install -g cowsay

## Usage

    cowsay JavaScript FTW!

or

    cowthink node.js is cool

It acts in the same way as the original cowsay, so consult `cowsay(1)` or run `cowsay -h`
