"approximately 300 K". Changing it to a minus sign in the fortunes file
was clearly an error, as absolute temperatures are by definition positive.

Alas, the first one is a repeat in a slightly different format and
ought to be removed (or the other copy). I'll leave that to more

This is a recent conversion of an old IBM Mainframe application
to the fortune datafile format.
The "laws" were extracted from a S/370 Assembler program on a SHARE tape.
The comments in the program:
*---------------------------------------------------------------------*
* 'MURPHY' THE OLE PHILOSOPHER 18 AUGUST 1988 *
* *
* MURPHY WAS FOUND ON A JES2 TAPE OF ALL PLACES WITH ABOUT *
* 500 OR SO SAYINGS. GOT ANOTHER 250 FROM AN UNKNOWN SOURCE *
* AND HAVE ADDED ABOUT 100 OR SO MYSELF. *
* *
[list of changes omitted]
* *
* JIM MARSHALL, CAPT, USAF *
* (301) 688-6829 *
* *
*---------------------------------------------------------------------*
Fortunes that a sufficiently twisted mind could perceive as offensive
have been moved to murphy-o. Thanks to the submitter for reviewing
these fortunes.
The copyright issues were considered before approval.
