Seems overly complicated if the goal was a "simpler fortune" - a self-contained shell-script is perfectly capable of echoing random lines (I should know, I had one for generating email signatures).

On the other hand, if all one wants is a set of fortune cookies - there's no need for the new client - fortune-mod exists:

why waste the cargo namespace on stuff like this. it's not even very thoughtful.
