John Cage wrote the musical piece "4 minutes and 37 seconds". It is a piano piece in which no music is actually played at all. Instead, the listener is forced to listen to the background noise of whatever venue it is performed in, to consider that "silence" is a misnomer, and to accept that a vital partof music is the setting- the audience is creator of the music just as the performer is.
Now the quotes screen read just "Here is something to think about while you wait" accompanying a white void. The message is clear- "think for yourself".
Instead of being enlightened as to what Dr McCoy said when he caught Kirk about commit another act of cross-species miscegenation with some alien species that wears too much mascara and is unaccountably curious as to what snogging entails, we have become enpowered.
Thank you.

Well, Mark tried something simular on a more bigger scope early this week, the reactions were mixed to say the least
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus

I hate those quotes now. I hope they never come back.
If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.
The quotes always went away before I could read half of the text, so it's all right for me if it stays empty...
Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. -Isaiah 41:10
The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing. - Zephaniah 3:17

have a nice day

WHY DOES ISRAEL NEED A SECURITY FENCE --- join in an exceptional demo game > join here forum is now open ! - the new civ Conquest screenshots > go see them UPDATED 07.11.2003 ISRAEL > crisis or challenge ?
I tried clicking the pause button. It doesn't work.
I'd like the quotes to come back.
I agree with Laz. The blank quote screen is absolutely great !
"I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident
"I never had the need to have a boner." -- Dissident
"I have never cut off my penis when I was upset over a girl." -- Dis
I second this one.
"Kids, don't listen to uncle Solver unless you want your parents to spank you." - Solver
I find myself in agreement with Laz. Oh the humanity!
Of course, an added bonus will be the frequent threads here asking why the field is empty. Another +1 spamfest opportunity, just like the stats question.
"The number of political murders was a little under one million (800,000 - 900,000)." - chegitz guevara on the history of the USSR.
"I think the real figures probably are about a million or less." - David Irving on the number of Holocaust victims.
A good plan. Though the weekly "Why are there no quotes" threads could become as annoying as the ubiquitous "post stats" thread.
I'd start a quotes thread competition, but its probably quicker just to call WoA the champion.
you're out of luck

Well we'll protest by not reading them then.
Does that mean we have got the quotes back then?
EDIT: Well, well...

They aren't back
EDIT: Yes they are
argh

Yay! No thinking for oneself!
nope, we can't allow that
They're back?
edit: yup

What is a "post stat" thread ? (Sorry, I'm a community newbie)

I'm a newbie here too, but I think it's a thread asking what the A-D-M-HP stats in your profile mean.
Indeed. From time to time someone asks this same question in a new thread, and some people have been trying to predict when the next similar thread will be posted, but the competition is in vain, because War of Art always get it right.
As for the quotes, I like them. They're funny.
'Yep, I've been drinking again.'

I believe Saddam because his position is backed up by logic and reason...David Floyd
i'm an ignorant greek...MarkG
I'll guess... May 17.
SKywalker,
you should make your predictions here
, but if the thread get's bumped then won't that make the next time it happens delayed as it will still be fresh?
then again all this discussion about post stats might delay it as well. Maybe that was Dr. Spike's plan all along. :wring hands:
badams
Hehe I can't even remember my guess, so I don't have an ulterior motive. It's probably best if noone bumps the thread linked in the last post. Skywalker your guess is noted, provided it doesn't clash with any in the other thread.
