Giant Font

I nearly got a concussion just now when a page came up in Firefox.

This is what I get: http://blinkynet.net/stuff/comp/bigspoons.jpg

That is capture is FULL SCREEN on my 1920x1200px monitor!

http://www.spoonsandthings.com/SPOONS.htm

Is anybody else seeing that? It's not like that in Opera or Konq.

That text is kind of .

FF's Web Developer Extension tells me the text is 364.533px, which is,
heh, larger than I require. Especially since I've got one of those
old-timey monitors with only 1280x1024 resolution. I had to maximize FF
just to get the whole "Spoons" on the screen.

Yep. Many (about 8 or 10) nested elements. Seems FF goes berzerk.

It's not like that in Opera or Konq.

Nor IE where I bet it was developed.

A small point: Why were you searching for spoons? ;-)

I won't be taking that bet. I'd say anything else is about a million to
one. :)

Well, that's a good question!

Ever heard of a "tasting spoon"?

I hadn't either. Then someone mentioned them in a cooking group, and from
their description, I had to go looking to see an image or two. :)

Clever! The cooling is a nice bonus.
