Let’s see if this works.

I swear the new color scheme looked okay last night. I will fix it soon. Sorry about that.

In the meantime, read some real funny stuff over at the Onion.

Accurate examination of signatures is the number one tool for fighting terrorists. Duh. Tell me something I don’t know.
