There are animals, insects, fish etc. There are gases, liquids, metals etc. There is man and woman. There is good and bad. There is happy and sad. The answer is non of the above or even closely related to the above. need help with this one and ASAP....

rick: wait, is the name of your font "big gay"?

sushiesque: currently, the name of my font is "this is a test". I've only done I, J, and H (in that order), and it gets bigger and gayer with each successive letter.

Quise: Ok I have a riddle for you all. "my presence is needed, even though many do like like me around, I can create life and sound but also cause fear..... what am I?

Jack Morava: You might like `The Crying of Lot 49' by Thomas Pynchon (nowhere near as good as Valis, tho). There's a huge wiki page about it... (:+{)}

chris: You should submit this to "Why a Tittle?" ! I'm a huge fan of your page.

Blue Mega Man of the Furniture Ghetto

Walking down Mass. Ave. after work today—walking quickly, keen on Guitar Hero—I encountered Mega Man, handsome in his traditional blue ensemble.

Bluemegaman

He's apparently been there, outside my least favorite Crate & Barrel, in the heart of the Modernist Furniture Ghetto between Central Square and Harvard, since June, visible mostly from the crosswalk (and Google Maps, and Flickr). How many times had I overlooked him, hurrying past impractical light fixtures, minimalist flower arrangements, Eames-y non-polka dots, one-piece acrylic chairs, and couches the color of overcooked peas?

See also: Green Mega Man (Central Square, R.I.P.), and orange (Weeks Foot Bridge).

Iceman (see http://www.consoleclassix.com/info_img/Mega_Man_NES_ScreenShot3.jpg) has been surreptitiously added to the giant mural along the pedestrian walkway at Central Square. Right next to the entrance to Central Kitchen, under the gutter (such that he gets a major shower every time it rains). Sorry, I thought you knew!

Thanks -- I'll look for it. I walk through there all the time; the mural is like white noise to me now.
