I did the same and it worked very well for me too. Redirect all dumb sites I don't really want to visit with a link to the quote I found inspiring at the time:

"It was a day like this when Marco Polo left for China. What are your plans for today ?"

I like the idea. Regarding the quote, I find it funny that people are not sure if Marco Polo ever left or he was just repeating stories he heard from other travelers.
