Hey, no need to get so sarcastic! ;-)

Anyway, I was curious about whether google could handle  so
simple  a  request,  so I tried a few guesses.  It actually
took me between 2 and 3 minutes, but I found:
  http://opsserver.dist.maricopa.edu/ed.html

I'd say that  this  isn't  an  ideal  cheat  sheet,  mostly
because  the  html  forces  a  lot  of wasted space, and it
doesn't print on a single sheet of paper very well. It also
uses  a  lot  of  <font> tags and specifiec bgcolor but not
fgcolor.  Talk about cluelessly shooting  yourself  in  the
foot.  But it does look like a useful summary. If you fetch
the html and massage it a bit, you can probably get  it  to
fit  into the left side of a single sheet, leaving room for
notes on the right.

I'm almost tempted to do this myself, out of annoyance with
the  cluelessness of the layout.  A cheat sheet is supposed
to require minimal paper, after all.
