8 p.m.
So me, being an uber-geek, tried it on a few boxen again...
On the Mac:
ozzie:~ dave$ make love
make: *** No rule to make target `love'. Stop.
Boring...
On FreeBSD:
aneurin% make love
Not war.
Thank you for keeping the faith!
And on my tame penguin:
dave@debbie:~$ make love
-bash: make: command not found
Sigh...

On OS/8, it said "Not war?" with a question mark (well, using Great Runes).
"Make" on old DEC systems started Teco with EWwhatever$$.

Not War?

Of course there were the other famous UNIX questions like...

Sure. OS/8 is what you get when you try to run TOPS-10 on a Blackberry.

Tried on my Linux machine and got boring message similar to Mac:
make: *** No rule to make target `love'. Stop.

They both use (the apparently humorless) GNU make.

make: don't know how to make love.
is the answer I remember.
FreeBSD make actually says: "make: don't know how to make love. Stop"

Of course, you could add your own /usr/local/bin/make:
#/bin/sh
if test $# -eq 1 && test "$1" == "love"; then
echo make: Hey, I\'m a computer and don\'t have the apparatus for that.
\{Sulks off and cries to itself.\}
else
/usr/bin/make $*
