In 2009 IKEA caused a flap in the graphic design world when it changed the typeface used in its catalogue from Futura to Verdana, expressing a desire to unify its branding between print and web media. The controversy has been attributed to the perception of Verdana as a symbol of homogeneity in popular typography.[129]

Five months after the fire, Great White started a benefit tour, saying a prayer at the beginning of each concert for the friends and families affected by the incident and giving a portion of the proceeds to the Station Family Fund. The band said they would never play the song "Desert Moon" again. "I don't think I could ever sing that song again," said lead singer and founder Jack Russell.[8] Guitarist Mark Kendall stated, "We haven't played that song. Things that bring back memories of that night we try to stay away from. And that song reminds us of that night. We haven't played it since then and probably never will."[9] The band has since resumed playing the song.[10]

As a hermit, Withers lives in solitude. He does not own a car or television; he gets his news from the people around him and gets around on a bicycle that he found, broken, on the side of the road. Though he has an open-door policy for people that come to visit him, he himself visits family only twice a year. He does have a computer, which he uses to keep in touch with other hermits via email.

This would still be ambiguous if a serial comma were added, as Mandela could then be mistaken for a demigod, although he would be precluded from being a dildo collector.

HP does not recommend the full-time use of EconoMode. If EconoMode is used full-time, the toner supply might outlast the mechanical parts in the toner cartridge.

Another, more crass form of this call went "Do you have Prince Albert in the can?" When the respondent said "yes," the caller rejoined, "Well let him out before he drowns!"

During the late medieval period, cotton became known as an imported fiber in northern Europe, without any knowledge of how it was derived, other than that it was a plant. Because Herodotus had written in his Histories, Book III, 106, that in India trees grew in the wild producing wool, it was assumed that the plant was a tree, rather than a shrub. This aspect is retained in the name for cotton in several Germanic languages, such as German Baumwolle, which translates as "tree wool" (Baum means "tree"; Wolle means "wool"). Noting its similarities to wool, people in the region could only imagine that cotton must be produced by plant-borne sheep. John Mandeville, writing in 1350, stated as fact the now-preposterous belief: "There grew there [India] a wonderful tree which bore tiny lambs on the endes of its branches. These branches were so pliable that they bent down to allow the lambs to feed when they are hungrie [sic]."

i can't believe that we're back on this bullshit of all things. no, it's not arbitrary rules-sperging to know what a word means and doesn't mean. there is no debate here, some people just don't like the idea that the way they say something might actually be wrong.

Sham bam bamina! posted:i'm saying that the article is bullshit. Well, not according to an actual professional linguist. Ref. also this older post on the subject, which has citations for "comprised of" dating back to the early 18th century, and this excellent article on the subject. Actually, I'm just going to quote that last article here: quote:Henderson is adamant, giving us six reasons to ditch “comprised of” and dropping some linguistic clangers in the process. dude's not just a megapedant, he's wrong. sad.

lol Synopsis[edit] Three neo-Nazi supremacists (Dallas Chalmers and his white "posse" Chane Adams and Bud Cockerham) go to the residence of the Blakes (Bobby Blake and his brother Chris Blake and Flex-Deon Blake) and shout racial slurs, harassing and bullying them in an attempt to get them to leave the neighborhood. However, the muscular black neighbors have finally had enough and get their revenge on the white harassers. They capture them and put them in a cage. Then they proceed to beat them up, urinate on them and sexually degrade and torture them until they completely break down and submit to the power of their black masters. The film is violent with scenes of BDSM, rimming, pissing, fisting and verbal abuse. They also invite Eric Top Stud, a light-skinned Puerto Rican stud to take part in abusing the neo-Nazis. There are also scenes of taboo incest between Chris and Bobby Blake with Chris being the sole submissive black in the film http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niggas%27_Revenge
