Script Summary: Replaces all Reddit comments with fortunes from the BSD 'fortune' program

Thumb

Inspired by FeynTube, which replaces YouTube comments with quotations from Richard Feynman, this is Fortune Reddit. On a page of reddit comments, every paragraph is replaced by a fortune cookie from the old BSD program 'fortune'. This makes for some nonsensical discussions. Long multi-paragraph comments become multi-topic explosions of insanity.

The quotes included are taken from the BSD-licensed distro included in Slackware. I'm afraid the script is a little heavyweight, but at least it takes a while to start seeing repeats.
