Random quote of the day:

“Civilization exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice.”

—attributed to Will Durant

(This quote is widely attributed to Will Durant, but no one seems to be able to find a source.  About.com does a good deconstruction of it here, so I won’t repeat it.  Regardless, it’s a great quote and very true, no matter who may have originally said it.)
