Random Futurama Quote From Shell

Random Futurama Quotes to fill the day. I just found this awesome site: http://commandlinefu.com. There are a lot of great ideas on this site, I recommend you take a few minutes and check it out. Major props to icco of commandlinefu.com:

Just issue the following command:

curl -Is slashdot.org | egrep '^X-(F|B|L)' | cut -d \- -f 2

Here’s the sample output:

[burnsforce.com ~]# curl -Is slashdot.org | egrep '^X-(F|B|L)' | cut -d \- -f 2
Fry: Robots don't go to heaven.

I’d like to integrate this into the /etc/motd file, so everytime I connect to my server via SSH I get a new quote. I have a few ideas but haven’t gotten around to implementing them yet. If you have any suggestions, I’d love to hear them!
