Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

First one, I see an exponent 1, and a set containment symbol. Second one, the exponent 1 again, and then "&sup". Firefox 17.0.1, Mac OS 10.6.8.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Different. iOS version of Safari, I suppose I can look up more detail if you need it.

Bonus question: first one looks like a footnote or exponent, second one doesn't appear to do anything.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I see what Hil sees, Chrome 22.0.1229.94, Windows 7.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Exactly the same as Hil, also Firefox 17.0.1 on Windows XP Home Edition 5.1.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

First one, I see an exponent 1, and a set containment symbol. Second one, the exponent 1 again, and then "&sup". Firefox 17.0.1, Mac OS 10.6.8.

Me too. I'm on Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421 (the hell? Where did all those numbers come from?), Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

First one, I see an exponent 1, and a set containment symbol. Second one, the exponent 1 again, and then "&sup".

Same here. Safari, iPad2.

So, for reasons I'm choosing not to investigate closely, I'm watching a Finding Bigfoot marathon. The biologist skeptic is delightful. (Sasquatch or kid in a hoodie? Gee, which do you think is more likely?) The "investigators" keep referring to places as "squatchy".

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

First line: an exponent 1 and a set containment symbol (which I can name thanks to Hil).

Second line: an exponent 1 and "&sup".

Chrome Version 23.0.1271.101, Mac OS 10.7.5.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

First one, I see an exponent 1, and a set containment symbol. Second one, the exponent 1 again, and then "&sup". Firefox 17.0.1, Mac OS 10.6.8.

I am exactly Hil -- I see the same things and I am running the same browser on the same OS.
