-#  this one is going to get the fortune wrapper set up and all that good stuff.
-#
-# it needs to check if fortune is installed (or misfortune if not) ans then i need to find out how to find where the fortune files are installed (i have a misfortune folder, but i cant imagine fortune stores them in there)
-# then i need to downlaod the tetofortunes and tetofortunes.dat files to that location
-#
-# then i need to write a script to ~/.local/bin caled tetosong that simply calls either fortune or misfortune (i'll check i guess?)
