Question Phosphor screensaver data file

Looking to find the data file for the Phosphor screensaver, it seems to say some pretty humerous things... but I can't find the file that contains these sayings.

Anyone wanna shed some light on the situation?

ps... two examples I grabbed from the screensaver...

toes, knees, nipples. toes, knees, nipples, nukcles... nipples, dimples, knuckles, nickles, wrinkles, pimples!!!

Okay... I'm going home to write the "I hate rubik's cube handbook for dead cat lovers"...

They seem to be coming a lot from the fortunes2 file... but it lops off the last line saying who actually said it... I was disregarding those files previously because of that reason, I thought there might be a specific file related to that screensaver and not the whole bsd-games package. Thanks though for making me look right under my nose again. haha
