cb53faafbb 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.

7052a987d7 Move the "yiddish cooking has killed more jews than Hitler" quote back

The other Hitler quotes/references stay in the unoffensive file, as

ebe5e23d16 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().

6d42881fd8 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.

6c5bcb1fd2 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.

remove one of them.  The rest is written to stdout.
