I only have two login shells on my system so I didn't see motd very
often.  So instead I when I found out about rt[0] I went and added
a variation of this to my ~/.xinitrc:

/usr/X11R6/bin/root-tail -g 165x8+001+595 -font fixed \
/home/faux/.fortune,cyan,'FORTUNE' -reload 20 &

And this in my crontab:
*/5 * * * * /usr/games/fortune -a > /home/faux/.fortune

This way I can always see new fortunes.
