A woman is on talk tee-vee. She is describing the murder of her daughter, who was shot in the head, and put on temporary life-support.

She says: 'The doctors came out, and told me that IF she survived, she'd be a vegetarian...'

I'm not joking, and that is no joke.

I was reading a book about Art Deco graphic design. In the product category was a box of drinking straws: 'SUNSHINE STRAWS'

Their slogan was 'Like Nature's Own'.

Anyone care to explain?

It's interesting to see that a few (not most) companies have kept their graphic style so long. 'BOKAR' coffee is still using the design concepts created by Egmont Arens in 1932. 'Hoover' still uses the same logo, which was, if memory serves, was done by Walter Dorwin Teague or Henry Dreyfuss. 'GE' still uses their logo from the 30's. 'GULF Oil', too. It shows how good design, intended to look modern, has a lasting result. If you have a good thing, you stick with it. Hitler premiered Ferdinand Porche's new design - the 'Volkswagen' ('People's Car') at the 1936 Olympics.

'MODERN' is different than 'Contemporary'.

'MODERN' is closer to a Philosophy.
'Contemporary' is closer to Fashion.

'Vegetarianism' can be either.
