The latest version of fortunes (from R-forge, not sure about CRAN)
have fortunes up to number 317 which is from just a couple of days ago
(and 312 is the quoted one from February). For some reason some of
the instances of R on my computer stop at 291, others go up to 317
(running a new instance of R gives all 317, so the problem instances
must still have links to the older version in memory or something). I
don't know how long it has been around, but I notice that the latest
version now installs with a pdf file in the doc folder with all the
fortunes for when we want a more sequential stroll or a different form
of searching, no more "i<- i + 1; fortune(i)" with a bunch of up arrow
followed by Enter.
Thanks to Achim and the others who maintain the fortunes package and
help preserve the wit and wisdom of the R community and make it easier
for us to learn from the mistakes of others (or others to learn from
my mistakes).
