July 20, 1969 was a day of destiny. On that day, the human race moved just a little farther in its evolution. Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin took that famous "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" and humans stood on the moon for the first time.

Today's rotating quotes:

"It is difficult to produce a television documentary that is both incisive and probing when every twelve minutes one is interrupted by twelve dancing rabbits singing about toilet paper."
-- Rod Serling

"Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on."
-- Bob Newhart

"Simplify! Simplify!"
-- Henry David Thoreau
