Trim more cookies, by playing with different hash functions,

e.g., by trimming all non-alphabet characters and whitespace,
converting to lowercase, and considering only first (or last)
N letters (maybe only consonants). The fortune editor then
displays all fortunes that have the same hash, and allows to
remove one of them. The rest is written to stdout.

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.

bad style in general, it also causes formatting, and other problems
for various third party items (like xscreensaver) which use fortunes
for their own purposes.
