This is just a proposal.  In the cold light of day I can acknowledge
that I might have been too ready with the axe -- feel free to nominate
some favorites for retention -- but one thing I'm sure about is that the
contents of the fortunes file should be our scrapbook.  Something like
that might fit better as /lib/bentley or such.  

Remember that the original (Labs edition and 9front edition) fortunes
files will remain (as far as I know) on fortunes.cat-v.org for future
consumption.
