Does any know if there are any scripts/css around that could help me create something like this? I'm more of a tinkerer than a coder

I was just thinking a hackernews userscript that tossed these up somewhere in the layout might be good, given the audience. The core of it's just picking a random quote from an array so it should be simple. You could select lines or quotes from users and add them to the queue with LocalStorage or something.

I am now apparently working on this...

haha look forward to seeing it! Letme know when you get it up and running @mutlu82
Since it looks like this is going to take a while (long long long after anyone will care), here's where I am now:

All it does is take a random quote from the array and stick it in an extra table row, and there's a link that alerts text selected by the mouse (which is currently pointless) and I need to do all the localstorage stuff but yeah.
