Yes. They are randomly chosen by my sig monster when I compose a message; I have some option to ask for another, but no direct input in the selection. When my sig monster pulls a particularly apt aphorism from my curated database, I occasionally end the message with praise for my sig monster and offer it a biscuit, as is customary (and whimsical, because the sig monster typically doesn't eat them and shows no sign that it alters its behaviour in response to the offer). But too often when I include such praise for my sig monster, people get confused and think I'm offering *them* a cookie, or calling them a monster, or some such. Explaining what's going on gets strange :-) -- \ “Do unto others twenty-five percent better than you expect them | `\ to do unto you.
