Is it possible to delay document.write("blah blah ..")?

On page load, is it possible to write out something to the browser
using

document.write("blah blah ...");

And then pause for 2 seconds and write out something else like

document.write("something funny...");

Javascript does not seem to have a sleep function. I've tried

setTimeOut("myFunction()", mydelay);

It does not work.

Any idea? Thanks.
