That's one of my favorites. All the literary ones and whatnot are cool, but they're a little long for the "Post has been added" screen.Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.Comment

(Coracle go play) Pac-Man... oh wait, it's not realistic that pac-man can eat all those dots. For him to be able to eat all of them his total volume would have to be greater than the sum of all of them. And Ghosts! Come on folks, lets get back to reality here.

You're likely to see the Morgan Gravitonics one I mentioned, I've seen it several times.Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.Comment

Not exactly Civ related - but we have Zen quotes, which, given the Mathematical provenence of the original database probably came from Godel, Escher Bach. So I thought I should suggest:
To every w-consistent recursive class K of formulae there correspond recursive class-strings r, such that neither vGenr nor Neg(vGenr) belongs to Flg(K) (where v is the free variable of r).
-- Kurt Gödel, Proposition VI, "On Formally Undecidable Propositions in Principia Mathematica and Related Systems I"

Chowlet, that is not only a mathematical quote, but also one that is used a lot in AI Philosophy. In that respect, it is more or les Civ related.
You might want to edit your message to end with a '%' though, or it won't be included.

I've seen stuff that's even less Civ-related than that, though. There're some pseudo-philosophical things in the databse about why life sucks.
You are a coward.

-What episode was that in? (I clearly need to download it).-- North Korean fortune cookie on The Simpsons"The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

It's mentioned in the one where Kirk and Luanne Van Houten (Milhouse's parents) break up at the Simpsons' party. Afterwards Marge is talking to Homer, and she says, "Those North Korean fortune cookies were so insulting. 'You are a coward.' I mean, nobody likes to hear that."Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.Comment
