go to /usr/share/games/fortunes/ directory. take a look at the fortunes
there. you can see that there is a plain file such as myown and a dat file
such as myown.dat. what you can do is look at the formatting of the myown
file and make your own. and then do a
strfile myown myown.dat
and wala you have your own fortunes file. to view fortunes from it
/usr/games/fortune myown
good luck.
