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.

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().

Don peril-sensitive sunglasses and correct the spelling of ukulele.

"Ukulele" is the canonical term, with "ukelele" being a derivation.

had the spelling "ukulele", although anyone who has a copy of Esquire
from March 1967 is welcome to prove me wrong.
