add something

Restore the catman joke.

It needs the (8), or it fails to work for people who don't know or had
forgotten catman(8) was ever a thing.

as the de facto fortunes editor and also I think the person who added
that fortune in the first place, and given the discussion in
tech-userlevel, I think I get to do this.

Revert to the original phrasing, but remove the man 8 section reference.

catman is a historical Unix tool.

catman(8) is a past thing

Add one.

Attribute the `Consequences, Schmonsequences...' quote to Daffy Duck.

Per [1] the speed of light in a vaccum is exactly 299792458 m/s.
Per [2] a furlong is 220 yards and a yard is exactly 0.9144 m.
Per [3] a fortnight is 14 days.

As I didn't find a good authority for what definition of a day a fortnight is
measured in, I'll assume here a day is 86400 SI seconds.

Thus, the speed of light in a vaccum is approximately
1.80*10^12 furlongs per fortnight.

1.80*10^12 = 299792458*86400*14/(220*0.9144)
