;; Important pinheaddery for GNU Emacs.

;; See cookie.el for implementation.  Note --- the `n' argument of yow

;; random access now.

;;; Code:

(require 'cookie)

(defvar yow-file (concat data-directory "yow.lines")
   "Pertinent pinhead phrases.")

;;;###autoload
(defun yow (&optional interactive)
  "Return or display a random Zippy quotation."
