| Had a few courses at Uni with Comic Sans in the slides. So

| The claims struck me as a bit unlikely, but helped explain

| is little evidence for the claims made about it, but I can
| see why some would still use it.

| Still, at least it's not Papyrus.

|
| That's one reason so many public speakers have Hawai'ian shirts.
| Women can also wear monster-high heels, as it makes them easier
| to see (It's not a "sexy" thing; it's a "see me" thing. There are
| some very conservative women's shoes, with very high heels).
|
| I'm not a particularly good public speaker (but I've done a fair
| bit _-why is everyone asleep?_ ), so I need all the help I can
| get. I have a number of them.
|
| I have a friend that has a .sig that says "Speak softly, and wear
| a loud shirt."
|
| He has a _lot_ of loud shirts.

| cool/fitting.
