2ee946b266 Per [1] the speed of light in a vaccum is exactly 299792458 m/s. 
Per [2] a furlong is 220 yards and a yard is exactly 0.9144 m.
Per [3] a fortnight is 14 days.

As I didn't find a good authority for what definition of a day a fortnight is
measured in, I'll assume here a day is 86400 SI seconds.

Thus, the speed of light in a vaccum is approximately
1.80*10^12 furlongs per fortnight.

1.80*10^12 = 299792458*86400*14/(220*0.9144)

20ce96200f Instead of trying to cons up a regexp that ignores case, use REG_ICASE. 
This makes fortune -im work; it's been broken since whenever.
