No, I had actually never heard of fortune, but I will look into it now :)

A long, long time ago in this galaxy, this was the first program to run when a user logged in/opened a new terminal. Not on every system of course.
Still does on all my systems.
Computers compress everything, including the time it takes to feel like an old fart.
Still the default on Slackware.
I was just thinking about that and making my own website using fortune. You spoiled the surprise.
