MySQL * man

Depending on your distribution, there may be a GUI man viewer (no jokes please) available. Try http://www.download.com; make sure to search under UNIX/Linux. If you happen to have Mac OS X, http://www.versiontracker.com could also be useful.

/usr/share/man/

Or a classic joke (so I'm told):
Code:
$ man woman
No manual entry for woman.
