1269b8ed60 Fix bugs.
Due to one of the bugs (^C was the first character of each line
when sorting), the -b option of sort(1) didn't take any effect,
so stay bug-compatible, and remove the -b option.

Transcription of the Bell Communications Research Colloquium Seminar

sounds that people cannot hear, and maybe computers have thoughts
that people cannot think.

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
