WARNING: Integrating fortune and your email will cause wide
spread whining, crying, or panic which may or may not result
in a lecture about how someone else is morally superior to
yourself.  By integrating this program into your email client,
you are accepting the risk of not being pc-enough for your
peers (ones that you would probably never have a beer with).
