Bad, Bad Type
Ah, typography. So very... sexy? Perhaps by now you've heard the story of how a sex font was inadvertently used on a handout to the parents of third graders. Or had a chuckle over the phrase well-endowed fonts. [via DO and kottke]
If you need a little more typographic juvenility in your life, next time you're out with your design friends start an impromptu contest to see who can come up with the best type-related pickup line. The best I've heard yet is "I think we need to kern 'me' and 'you' a little tighter..." Meanwhile, ligatures make for a nice concept, but no one can seem to craft a gem line.

Ligature line? How about "I want to ff you."
nice in print, but it doesn't work when you say it out loud... such is the ongoing ligature problem.
