some of it's a little off.

 * "Xercies" should be "Xerxes"
 * "The Gastly Crumb Tines" should be "The Gashlycrumb Tinies"
 * i think the one about the penguins is now too long (28 lines vs 23)
 * "make them angry" is grammatically correct when preceded by "them"
 * some sayings had the quotes around them removed while others that
   retain quotes had the attribution altered
 * some sayings had periods added to the ends while others that lack
   the period had their attribution altered
 * "therefore this is not a syllogism" is not a complete sentence
 * some of the removed duplicate fortunes are not actual duplicates,
   but variations
 * etc

it makes me wonder what sort of criteria they used in "correcting"
these.  perhaps they only had the budget to make one change to one
fortune in each set of five?  :)
