Epson Printing tips, from "The Department of the Bleedin' Obvious"

"Assure high quality printouts on special media by loading the printable side up"

"Try cleaning the print heads to eliminate horizontal banding and other printing problems."

"Improve the quality of your printouts by making the right paper type setting."

Jeez. Ya think, Epson?

1. Open package
2. Eat nuts

I did an animation last January.

Human head, NPR, that transitioned to glass with proper dentition and tongue. The job was to show people the right way to chew nicotine gum.

Let me re-iterate: A couple of grand's worth of 3D animation... to teach people to chew gum.

Dear sweet baby Jeebus, Wonko the Sane was right.

Reminds me of the cause for Coca-Cola printing a warning on their bottles to just use them with drinkable stuff... because some idiot filled old battery acid in a bottle and his braindead kid downed THE WHOLE BOTTLE. Instead of kicking his bloody ass in front of court, the judge sentenced Coca-Cola to pay a fortune for omitting to print the above mentioned statement on their bottles...
seems darwin wasn't right after all.

one report is that she was awarded $2.5 million
