I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

OMG I love that fight graphic!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

What about "rates increased between X DATE and Y DATE" or is that taking too much license with the original text?

Sometimes the text just literally says "rates increased over time," without providing dates. Hence my pickle.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Rates increased as the Earth rotated.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Rates increased in proportion to universal entropy.

Yeah, in that case I'd go with across time, as Jesse suggests.

(still think "over time" sounds better)

As inevitably as entropy in a closed system, rates increased.

I think you can just drop the "over time".

Our wings are not tired

Perhaps "rates increased as time elapsed" would work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In my job, we would be saying "during the reporting period" or something.
