Comic Sans, the most reviled font in the world, has now inspired two improved versions, meaning two fonts that replace culture-shaking absurd hideousness with run-of-the-mill unattractiveness.

Magazines Put to Good Use as Pieces of Paper

Magazines. No one reads 'em. But they just keep getting printed out and piled up on coffee tables and on top of tied-up stacks of newspapers that will sit in the back mudroom waiting to be taken outside for years and years. What can we do with all this unused paper, other than burn it for warmth when the end times come? Someone is turning them into pretty decorative bows! The bows are hand-fashioned from pages of Wired, Vanity Fair, Discover and other lonely ignored periodicals. They're pretty cool and are on sale here.
