And I thought my job was tough... I wonder if there are any Chief Font Officer positions open anywhere... In a sign that no matter is too small to affect international diplomacy, the US State Department has issued an edict banning its longtime standard typeface from all official correspondence and replacing it with a "more modern" font. In an internal memorandum distributed on Wednesday, the department declared "Courier New 12" - the font and size decreed for US diplomatic documents for years - to be obsolete and unacceptable after February 1. "In response to many requests and with a view to making our written work easier to read, we are moving to a new standard font: 'Times New Roman 14'," said the memorandum. The new font "takes up almost exactly the same area on the page as Courier New 12, while offering a crisper, cleaner, more modern look," it said, adding that after February 1 "only Times New Roman 14 will be accepted." Hail to the Font |

I like these comments on E! But according to Reed, Sunday's peep show was not all for naught. At least we'll always have "wardrobe malfunction." "You always like it when a new phrase enters pop culture," Reed said. "'Wardrobe malfunction' will enter the grist for late-night talk shows." "Wardrobe malfunction" was how Timberlake termed the grope that partially disrobed his dance partner. Jackson's publicist liked the expression so much, he used it, too, as in, "I am confirming it was a wardrobe malfunction." The malfunctioning red lace bra could not be reached for comment. http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,13409,00.html RE: Janet Nipple - OUCH! |

the photo on this is quite lovely. Once moved to a nearby nature preserve, the male specimen -- the largest whale ever recorded in Taiwan -- drew the attention of locals because of its large penis, measured at some five feet, the Taipei Times reported. "More than 100 Tainan city residents, mostly men, have reportedly gone to see the corpse to 'experience' the size of its penis," the newspaper reported. Whale Penis Envy? That's a new one...
