    Along with the Daily Trivia, we're also trying out a "quote-a-day" feature on Neatorama.

    You may have to refresh your browser to see the larger font that comes with this feature.

    I have to credit Microsiervos for the neat idea.

    I'd like to see the original, just to get the context.

    Not doubting it, just curious what more he may have said in relation.
