  1. "Kenning" reminded me of a typography joke:

    "What do you call bad kerning?"

    "Keming."

    Which in turn reminded me of this: http://xkcd.com/1015/

    Ok, I'll stop now.

  2. I like typography jokes too. But then, I'm probably the only one at church who is bothered when the hymn numbers are put up with mixed fonts.
