Rather than you loading the server by requesting the index page over and over just so you by chance can see different random quotes, here's a page where you can see three at a time..



Maier's Law:

If the facts don't conform to the theory, they must be disposed of.

Corollaries:
(1) The bigger the theory, the better.
(2) The experiment may be considered a success if no more than 50% of the observed measurements must be discarded to obtain a correspondence with the theory.



If today is the first day of the rest of your life, what the hell was yesterday?



We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct. My own feeling is that it is not crazy enough.

— Niels Bohr



By the way, many of the quotes are from the unix fortune file (heavily culled to only include my absolute favorites). Some are from Usenet, some are from email, and other are simply from the real world.

Hmm, I wonder if anyone even reads this small type at the bottom of the page!? Hey, maybe some blinking text would help?? Any offensively categorical statements passed off as facts herein should only be construed as my very opinionated opinions.
