6221a0f65e 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.

7db6eff0eb 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.

2790da8d06 s/-300K/~300K/
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.
