3.3 Ponification

You can ponify messages (i.e. replaces words search as ‘everyone’ with ‘everypony’) by using fortune | ponypipe instead of using fortune. ponypipe can be downloaded from https://github.com/maandree/ponypipe. Alternatively you can use pinkie (or pinkiepie), which can be downloaded from https://github.com/maandree/pinkie-pie, which is just fortune | ponypipe. There is also a large sed script, similar to ponypipe: http://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlelinux/comments/srixi/using_ponysay_with_a_ponified_fortune_warning/ However I think ponypipe as better at replacing words than the sed script, but I haven’t used the script so I wouldn’t know for sure.
