// CNN Fortune Cookie user script
// version 0.1 BETA
// 01-23-2007
//
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// This is a Greasemonkey user script.  To install it, you need
// Greasemonkey 0.3 or later: http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/
// Then restart Firefox and revisit this script.
// Under Tools, there will be a new menu item to "Install User Script".
// Accept the default configuration and install.
//
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// NOTE: I know next to nothing about writing scripts like these, so
// I created this with the help of a useful tool called Platypus,
// at http://platypus.mozdev.org/
//
// I have a feeling that something this simple could have been done with
// just a couple lines of script, probably much better, quicker, simpler,
// and funnier, but I don't know how. If you can help write an improved
// version, contact me and we can make some changes.
