Or better yet add color:

WARNING: REPLACE ASTERISK with the ATERISK character, keeps italicizing

alias facts="echo -ne '\033[36m'; curl -s randomfunfacts.com | grep '<i>' | sed 's/.ASTERISK<i>\(.ASTERISK\)<\/i>.*/\1/'; echo -ne '\033[0m'; tput sgr0"

And run it in BG so we don't have to wait for call to website before we pull

alias gpl="( facts ); git pull"

  Prepending two spaces to a line will prevent ***automatic formatting***.

  curl -s randomfunfacts.com | grep '<i>' | sed 's/.*<i>\(.*\)<\/i>.*/\1/'

you don need to use grep, only sed -n
