0e82a660a5 So a positive time zone offset is west, right? or is it east? Um.
What is the standard for this, anyway? Ah, we get to choose. I see.

This commit is brought to you by the numbers 2001 and 2822 and the

23c0a6749a Correct the description of what fortunes get installed (by default, also the
offensive ones). Make it clear that datfiles/Makefile needs to be edited in
case someone wants it otherwise.

This is an absolute (kelvin) temperature.  I expect that in the original
source it was typeset as $\sim 300~{\rm K}$ or similar, meaning
"approximately 300 K".  Changing it to a minus sign in the fortunes file
was clearly an error, as absolute temperatures are by definition positive.
