Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

Yikes!

An em-space/dash/whatever is the width of height of the font -- i.e. if your font size is 10(units), then the width of an em-space/dash/whatever is 10(units) (source: Em an' En - Real Slim'n'Shady[^] heh)

My mother was a printer for many years back in the offset litho days, and I ended up running the a Print Society at school - which meant assembling forms from type cases.
So when computers started to catch up with proportionally spaced text, I had a head start on all the terms! Laugh | :laugh:

This should be a mandatory part of job interviews as well, the world over.

The mind boggles at how an adult can manage to whiz on a toilet seat (regardless of gender! Unsure | :~

)It boggles even further at how they aren't decent enough to wipe it up...
