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.

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.

from March 1967 is welcome to prove me wrong.

078b5daef7 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.

ad8222269e Kill obsolete #include <memory.h> which I didn't spot earlier because

bc71591d79 Mdocify and fix a load of errors dating back to the dawn of time. 
Don't mention hard limits for factor(6) since it now has bignum support.

63f7eaa932 Factorize bignums using the Pollard Rho algorithm. The code comes 
from NetBSD, altered to retain the FreeBSD -h feature and various
stylistic improvements and avoid regressions. In the absence of
OpenSSL (and therefore bignums) the old code is used.

3685096edb Remove the wargames(6) novelty [and not the fun kind]: 
1) It never was very funny.
	2) It was a N line shell script where N is less than
	   X, where X is the number of lines of the Berkeley
	   copyright and license.
	3) I rewrote it in C with the intention of making it
	   more interactive, ala the movie, but never did.
	4) Because it really is possible for at least some
	   parts of a distribution to shrink between releases.

a shell script with a big copyright.  Or maybe just a good way to spend an hour
