Where do the quotes come from?

I'm talking about the quotes that come up after you post something. some of them are quite good. I like this one.

From a readers' Q and A column in TV GUIDE: "If we get involved
in a nuclear war, would the electromagnetic pulses from exploding bombs
damage my videotapes?"

I think there also was a "Suggest your own quotes to put on the wait screen" thread a while back on this very forum. I've never seen any of my valuable contributions however.

As far as I know, there isn't really any one authoritative place to get a BSD fortune cookie collection from. Each OS that ships it tends to take care of their own cookies. Therefore, the source for the cookies that Apolyton shows is probably Red Hat, or whoever.

Of course, what they *should* be showing is stuff from http://www.warehouse23.com/basement/ .
