This would be a good idea.  I will look into when I get the chance. 
Anyone else want to help investigate it?

You bring this up in this context because of page real estate?  Is the
argument here for the longer one because we won't have the link

I just saw something on Frank Caggiano's website
(http://www.crystal-objects.com).  He has a quotes box that fades in
new quotes every so often.  It's just CSS and Javascript (available
from Dynamic Drive).  Perhaps that would be a start.
