As far back as 7.0 Pro, fortune was installed by default. I used to have to dig to turn it off. Not sure the issue pj is having, but fortune has been part of the distribution for at least two decades -- probably longer.
It has been available since I installed SuSE the first time in 1998, version 5.3 :-)

So no fortunes package is even needed to be installed in order for it to work?
I don't know if the package is still installed by default or not. Normally you only need to make sure that it is installed, then remove the comments in ~/.profile to activate it.
A fortune still appears on each new tab opened in konsole for instance:>
Never happened to me. You must have done something.
I have no idea what the cow thing he mentions is.
A "cow" can be any ascii image as shown above. Above is an example of chameleon.cow located in usr/share/cowsay/cows
Can this be shrunk down a bit?
If you are an ascii artist, maybe. Otherwise, no. :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
