Maintenance fail

I deleted the database that had the quotes for the quotation rotation. I didn’t have a backup because I thought that DB wasn’t in use.

Cached pages from search engines will let me restore what I can, but if you had any favorites, let me know. (New quotes are good, too.)

    My fave was Annie’s “It’s so much easier to poop than to starve.”

    And everything about Gene Ray’s Cosmic Death Cube or whatever.
