What's fortunes-spam?

This package contains fortune cookies taken from subjects and bodies of funny or strange SPAM messages (mails, newsgroup posts, etc.)
It's intended to be used with the fortune unix program.

Warning

Some of these fortunes are really obscene; the plaintext is "ciphered" using rot13.
