Hello Bruce,
You could embed it in a script tag referencing an external PHP file which
would generate ECMAScript for displaying your fortune sentences. The
counter part is that you will be able to display only few of them.
You're second choice could be to use AJAX based programming. This way,
you would be able to tell JavaScript to retrieve a sentence every X
minutes to display it.
Whatever you choose, you will have to use JavaScript if you don't want
your file to be parsed in PHP.
