You Oughta Know: Pangrams Can Be Fun

Well since you're here, you should already know that pangrams can be fun, as that's what this site strives to provide (fun from a pangram-named site). It just so happens that while doing a random search on Bing using my site's title (perhaps a touch narcissistic), I came across this post on Cool As Ten Bears that celebrated the phrase: "The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog".


From the site:
"A pangram is a sentence that includes all 26 letters of the alphabet and is often used to display type faces in a more natural way than looking at the complete spread of available letters a-z. The quick brown fox has been used by many type face designers, typography vendors and companies like Apple and Microsoft to display fonts on their system."

The post provides 20 examples, of which I've selected my favourite 7 (including the one above), with all the images linking to their creator (as far as I know). - QBF

NSFW Monday!

Good Morning! This is the 21st, and last of my "Body-Painted Football Babes Bonanza" series. Perhaps more importantly however, the semi-finals begin tomorrow in the World Cup! So a hearty congratulations to the great teams who made it: Uruguay versus Netherlands Germany versus Spain They will play each other tomorrow and Wednesday respectively, but all signs point to Germany defeating the Netherlands in the final. Now, back to the babes! We have ladies representing the Italian Republic (the only returning champion I'd wager, to ever come dead last in the weakest group), and the Republic of Korea (South Korea -- who lost to Uruguay in the 2nd round). - QBF Spicy Meatball: Korea's Taekwan-Don't Stop!
