+Hello World!
+
+This is a quote bot (shell script) which shows a random quote from a file every time it is invoked.
+
+Note: You need to make it executable to use it.
+
+The reason i use a file and not the web is hackability, at the moment.
+
+Please provide a quotes.txt file with one line per quote.
+
+Have fun!
