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:

"Alfred, you know, watermelon is a happy fruit. If you're ever suicidal at four o'clock in the morning, don't jump out the window. Just run to the supermarket and get yourself a big old watermelon and stick your face in it. You'll cheer right up."
-- "Weird Al" Yankovic's dad

"When someone does something good, applaud! You will make two people happy."
-- Samuel Goldwyn

"To escape criticism - do nothing, say nothing, be nothing."
-- Elbert Hubbard
