Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

MattH/Dr Strangelove,
The quotes come from the standard Unix fortune cookie database, they weren't collected by Apolytoners. There's a handful of quotes by (then) St Swithin there, they were submitted by me a long, long time ago (and I agree they're getting old; they've been used far too often and I never intended for Markos to add ALL of them).

They're no worse than the other quotes. Some are good and some suck.

Captain's Log:

We humans exist in time slices. It is a fraction of time which we choose to perceive. For example, codons read by transcriptase on a strand of DNA rely on a defined starting point. From that origin, the amino acid is decoded. (A codon is a series of 3 nucleotides which define one of 20 defined amino acids.)

WE perceive time as the net perception elapsed since some arbitrary start point.

If you change the starting point, do humans perceive an entirely different universe? Consider 'time' as a physical entity like the nucleotides in a strand of DNA, or beads on a string.

In the absence of reason, we cling to the last vestige of reality - physical sensations which distract us from the more immediate and pressing matters of which we are always, just barely, aware.

In a single time slice, what concerns us? What was the most persistent issue at that EXACT moment? That is what we obviously are drawn to, like a cosmic sleight of hand. THAT is misdirection.

In the parlance of our times, it is called magic.

I have a feeling this might be closed when I wake up, but I swear I was channeling st_swithin for a moment there. Yet she's still alive. How odd.

Anways, I don't know if additions to the quotes would help- how many people still watch intently? What I would subscribe to Apolyton for is an option in my profile to skip that screen altogether, if it's possible.

Can't get rid of me that easily - try committing seppuku if you want to get rid of me.

Or drink a milkshake - I'm lactose intolerant.

The best answer is to get a fast connection, then the quotes whizz by so fast you don't even see them.
