### Motivation

The excellent [GNU Octave](http://www.octave.org) contains a function `fact`.  It is

contributed by Jordi Gutiérrez Hermoso, and draws on the (now defunct) site

stallmanfacts.com (accessible via [archive.org](http://www.archive.org)) for a collection

of random 'facts' about [Richard M. Stallman](https://stallman.org/).  Each call of `fact`

displays another (randomly chosen) fact.

R was lacking such a key piece of technology, and hence this package was created to fill a

glaring void.

### Example

```{r}

R> library(rmsfact)                  # load the package

R> set.seed(123)                     # so that this is predictable

R> rmsfact()

Richard Stallman can see Russia from his house.

R>

```

### Package Status

Complete and functional, no dependencies, passes tests.

### Installation

The package is [on CRAN](http://cran.r-project.org/package=rmsfact) and can

be installed via a standard

```{r}

R> install.packages("rmsfact")

```
