Wow, this sounds useful, I hope I can actually remember it to use when I need to, which will definitely happen because I've never forgotten any cool linux feature I've found ever.
Use an OS for 20 years and still learn about new command every once in a while.
Did you know about finger and its accompanying program chfn? It feels like a relic from a different time.
Usage:
chfn [options] [<username>]
Change your finger information.
Options:
-f, --full-name <full-name> real name
-o, --office <office> office number
-p, --office-phone <phone> office phone number
-h, --home-phone <phone> home phone number
-u, --help display this help
-V, --version display version
For more details see chfn(1).
Command named finger
finger, yes, but IIRC I just manually edited a .finger file - I don't remember chfn.
Also, I haven't used finger in such a long time; since soon after the eternal September, probably. So many contacts never had finger info, it became not worth the effort to even check for it.

pee cat
... as suggested by man pee
Pee is stored in the pipes?
pee is stored in /usr/bin
No, pipes don't really store it unless they're blocked a long time and even then they don't hold much. They facilitate the pee's transfer to your cat in a child
