»Shebang«, in this sense anyway, actually comes from »sharp-bang«, as in »#!«
(but you probably already knew this). Now once we're into ASCII special
characters, it is mandatory to point to Fred Bremmer's and Steve Kroese's
classic poem, which goes
< > ! * ' ' #
^ @ ` $ $ -
! * ' $ _
% * < > # 4
& ) . . /
| { ~ ~ SYSTEM HALTED
(this must be read out loud to be appreciated).
Incidentally, Don Libes and Sandy Ressler, in »Life with Unix«, call »#!«
the »shell selector«, but I think most people would just look at you blankly.
