Antoine de Saint-Exupery (author and illustrator of Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince), came up with the maxim that all designers regardless of craft should take to heart:

The Tucows Squishy Cow certainly gets around! The latest sighting is on the cover of this week’s Quick and Simple magazine, a weekly produced by Good Housekeeping, where she’s used to illustrate the cover story, Goodbye Clutter!.
(Yes, I know that the Squishy Cows are manufactured by a company that sells them to companies other than Tucows, but I still think of the Squishy Cow as ours.)

“Respectable journalists don’t just disclose,” writes Ian King, who takes issue with my acceptance of the Vista-pre-loaded laptop from Microsoft last month.
I will counter and end the argument by saying “consider the source”. In this case, Mr. King writes for the Sun chain, a group of newspapers who unashamedly model themselves after British tabloids, from so-called “reporters” who are really drunks with notepads, to the “page three girls”, to bad writing to the target readership of just-short-of-functionally-literate yobbos, chavs and lager louts. Barely suitable for fishwrap, I’ve seen better papers after wiping my ass.

Now that we know more about Darth (“The Jedi formerly known as ‘Anakin Skywalker'”) Vader’s early years, it only makes sense that the crucial scene in The Empire Strikes Back should be remade this way:
