I am trying to learn python and I am trying to make a simple fortune program. It is telling me there is a syntax error with elif, how am i using this wrong? The version of python I am using is 3.1. I am using a older version cause it goes with my book. Thanks for any help you can give me.

idk if it was just your indenting or if you have another issue, you're not really giving us anything to help you with. And why did you post it 4 times?
