Super Cow Powers? [duplicate]

Easter eggs in Ubuntu
I did "apt-get --help" and at the end of the output it said "This APT has Super Cow Powers." I have never seen this message before. Can anyone tell me what it means? Thanks ahead of time for your input.
It appears to be a joke.
According to Wikipedia's article on aptitude, apt-get contains an easter egg resembling cowsay that can be found by issuing the moo
command:
$ apt-get moo
(__)
(oo)
/------\/
/ | ||
* /\---/\
~~ ~~
...."Have you mooed today?"...
The line in its help output,
$ apt-get --help | grep 'Super Cow Powers'
This APT has Super Cow Powers.
is presumably a reference to this easter egg, or perhaps was added later to parallel aptitude's claim that it "does not have Super Cow Powers".
