4c163f4c32 Nuke duplicates found via fuzzy logic: 
- typos
- different spelling, punctuation, whitespace
- phonetically similar names
- words rearranged ("was once" vs "once was" etc)

If a limerick appeared as a single one and as part of a
double or triple, the singleton was removed.

With a little help from: sort limerick|uniq -d
This still turns up 20 lines being repeated, but the respective
limericks are sufficiently unique to leave them in (i.e. most differ
in at least two lines).

Nuke spaces in front of colons while I'm here.

1d449dce78 Move the "yiddish cooking has killed more jews than Hitler" quote back 
to the offensive file.

The other Hitler quotes/references stay in the unoffensive file, as
they offer more historical perspective than this one.

f92c1adc15 My change, namely srandomdev() addition, was backed out even without 
discussing with me, and I obviously disagree seeing that afterwards
(srandomdev() back out not fix any thing, it can only mask the problem).

So, back out the back out and return srandomdev().

People who have problems with repeated quotes should use -D fortune
option for debugging to see is the problem in (1) /dev/random initialization
or in (2) fortune code itself.

I will be glad to help, but I can't reproduce repeated quote situation
on my machine.

In either case found, (1) or (2) should be fixed instead of removing
srandomdev().

8af732d13c Use a random number to seed the random number generator. Goodby, Rush 
Limbaugh.

This should have already worked properly if random(4) has been
initialized correctly, but it seems that this is frequently not the
case.  Instead, use the microsecond part of the current time as the
seed.

59c2bcbae9 Correct an error in the previous revision. RAND_MAX is the maximum value 
for rand(3), not random(3).  random(3) is defined to return values between
0 and 2^31-1, so add a local RANDOM_MAX constant to this file that is
defined as 2^31-1 and use that in place of RAND_MAX.

afe8bb313c * Reformat several attributions according to ../Notes (mostly whitespace) 
* Spell out some names that were pointlessly abbreviated
* Remove a couple of incidental duplicates
* Harry Truman had no actual middle name. The initial "S" was added to his
name to make him appear more statesmanlike. Therefore it's not usually punctuated.
* Format a couple of actual fortunes to fit into 72 columns

14f166b706 Don peril-sensitive sunglasses and correct the spelling of ukulele. 
"Ukulele" is the canonical term, with "ukelele" being a derivation.
Also there is some evidence that the original appearance of the quote
had the spelling "ukulele", although anyone who has a copy of Esquire
from March 1967 is welcome to prove me wrong.

removes the -r option to strfile so that the datfiles are constant.
