bff11a8c74 s/-300K/~300K/
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.

c1ca1eec09 Move the Rush Limbaugh fortunes to the offensive file, right after the
Anti-Reagan section. :) Apparently, people find opinions contrary to
their own to be offensive.

understanding from Ellen Ullman.

b564d8acf1 * Add $FreeBSD$ to limerick and zippy
* Delete trailing white space in all its forms. In addition to being
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.
