Yay! The quote repeated and I was able to get to the pause button before it disappeared. And here I thought I'd never play any RTS games again...

A quote from an issue of Cerebus!

BTW- Am I in the minority being annoyed by all the ZtP crap that keeps popping up? I'd rather see old Star Trek quotes...

Another vote for this to be included.
Some of the quotes used at the moment are too long though. I never want to pause the screen in case the huge block of text turns out to be rubbish and I waste my time reading it. This has its upside and downside I suppose, in that I miss out paragraphs of obscure programming jokes, but also that I am unlikely to pay attention to any bons mots that last more than a few lines. You don't get long to read them.... (well, I get longer at home than at work, because I haven't got broadband).

The ratio of Zippy to Star Trek quotes is at least 20:1. I've only seen one Trek quote since the feature started up again...

Yeah, the only things worse than the star trek jokes are the unix jokes, and the only things worse than the unix jokes are the quotes that simply don't make any sense*

Makes perfect sense, though I agree it's not really up there in the top 10 adages of all time.

It doesn't make any sense as humor.

It's not the 'joke of the day' hotline, it's supposed to be concise statements that have some intellectual depth to them.

BTW, are you saying Zippy quotes make sense as humor?
