Filling this column on the Sabbath is always hard, especially with all the church services our compilers like to attend just in case God really does exist. They really are getting fairly old so why not hedge their bets.

But they did get excited this morning before heading out in their Sunday finest when they spotted the silly splash in today’s Sun-Herald (at top and below) which more or less rounded out today’s offerings.

And we are as proud as punch to be able to fix this terrible subbing blue, even if our CorelDraw 4 package couldn’t match the font the SMH used. Regardless, we were delighted to put things straight.
