Show a random message at bash shell startup

This script is nice and all, but why re-invent the wheel? The 'fortune' program has been around since 1979, so I'm guessing they've fixed any bugs and implemented almost all the major features during the past 30 years. Why not just use fortune and your own custom fortune file?
