This One's A Lose-Lose Situation

Stay Out Of Arm’s Way

Lose a game of chess to a computer, and you could bruise your ego. Lose an arm-wrestling match to a Japanese arcade machine, and you could break your arm. Distributor Atlus Co. said Tuesday it will remove all 150 "Arm Spirit" arm wrestling machines from Japanese arcades after three players broke their arms grappling with the machine. Players advance through 10 levels, battling a virtual French maid, drunken martial arts master and a chihuahua before reaching the final showdown with a professional wrestler. The arcade machine is not distributed overseas.

Hi David please don't bother, ur a busy person. I'm in the market for a new template and was just testing it out. Next blog I visit I'll make up something else. It's just an idea I'm toying with. I know you educated literary types look way too deep into things which, I bet you could philosophise the fine print in TOS hahaha. You just keep truckin`.

Never too busy to help a fellow blogger.

Always test a template to see if it meets YOUR needs. What looks good on someone else's site might not work for another blogger, because display needs vary greatly.

My background is in newspaper and magazine layout, so if I can help at all, do let me know

Happy to be of any assistance

David
