Actually Ice Cream
And this one’s a doozy. Of course, the title’s a quote from the Illustrious Cameron Moll.
There are many things that I would be proud of
If I’d only invented them such as the wheel
The washing machine and the tumble dryer
On these inventions
Surely I could retire

I originally set out to try and save the world, but now I’m not sure I like it enough.
I have a nice RA here in Morrison Hall, and I don’t mean to criticize him with this post, but I must point out an unintentional (subconscious?) commentary he made with a typo of his. You see, RA’s are held responsible by the University to put up door decorations and generally make the hall look lived in with personable posters, discussion boards, etc. These are most effective in the more jail-type floorplans of the underclassmen dorms. I’ve seen some women RAs really shine at this floor decoration thing. However, we are in upper class apartments here in Morrison, and we’re guys … so the door dec/floor decoration thing kind of falls apart. Now, my RA put up some posters at the beginning of the year, with some thoughtful motivational words next to them. They’ve hung there since September, and I’ve seen them every day I’ve been here.
Today, however, I noticed a typo on one poster, whose purpose is to warn against debauchery and encourage studious behavior:
“With great power comes great RESPONSIBILITY”
…
Enjoy yourself, but be weary of what you do.
Interesting.
UPDATE: Fixed my improper possessive. Poor English, Alex!
Hypatia Sans - Combines the feel of Kabel and Mostra with some classical proportions… I really like it.
CNN is guilty of massively weird/overblown/tabloid-like headlines on their front page. Small pockets of people noticed this, discussed it, and then a formalized effort was made to point out the stupidest and least news worthy headlines. And so WTFCNN? was born. Here are some of their highlights from the past week:
The second to the last headline is the strangest to me. It’s written like a 13 year old on a random MySpace page (wait, that was me, except with this website, 8 years ago). But at that time, as far as I know, I was not penning headlines for CNN.com’s frontpage. Anyhow, I’ve saved one of the best headlines for last. This is real. This appeared on CNN.com’s frontpage.
These black and white conversions look great with text.
