    Arnt, Could you be less cryptic please?

    I found fortune in package 9base.  The idea of hashing a random
aphorism is pleasant, but fortune always displays "Misfortune!" on every
invocation, which probably means it misses a list of aphorisms not part
of the package. Also I don't understand what you mean by " * * * * * root "
