The Minearverse 6: Fiery Thread of Death
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

Never mind. It helps to read all the words.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I want to see the actual study (which is annoyingly not linked in the article, requiring me to actually use the Google). Partly because its sounds interesting, and partly because... Arial?

I don't like arial. I perfer a font that is more rounded or sensual.

Loathe it. And I strongly suspect that this study was designed as Arial-vs-something-flowery for the sake of controlling variables, but if it gets picked up in the wrong blogs, there'll be stupid advice all over the place saying "Science says you should always use Arial". And then I'll have to bang my head against my desk a lot.
(Banging one's head against the clients is viewed as assault, for some reason.)
