in reply to Fortune Quotes on PerlMonk pages

I've always liked random senselessness, and can play for up to 15 minutes (easy) with things like the random band generator or even closer to home(node) the yoda speak translator.

I also believe the PM community indeed has a good sense of humour, and it might be nice to have just a little bit more nonsense.

If it were up to me I'd suggest a complete new section and call it the "PerlMonk Perlsonal Oracle" or something, and would only be completely satified if it spoke complete and total gibberish...

Then again, we could just call it frotune? ;)

P.S. Did they really paint the coffeeshop?

Maybe "senselessness" or "nonesense" were the worng words. Fortune's output is simply a random selection of predefined quotes. Quotes from famous people (Poets, Scientists, Presidents, etc) and regular expressions (no punn intended) of the comon folk.
