{title}Male Lingo - New Terms To Describe Male-ationships
Anyone familiar with my posts knows I'm a huge fan of verbal hybridization and crafty new terms that describe objects, situations or people in more applicable ways than existing words in the English language.… 		Well, at least they are better then some of those old male words like male-licious, male-function, male-odor, male-versation, male-treatment, male-formation, male-nutrition, male-adroit, male-factor, male-lignancy, male-ficient and even male-aria. My English may not be perfect, but I have never understood this negative value of the male in your culture ???

The founder of the World Toilet Association, SIM Jae-Duck of Seoul, Korea, has built the world’s only house designed like a loo.

This has got to be the strangest concept I’ve ever seen! Fleethorse calls their new concept the Naturcar. The hybrid vehicle is literally powered by horses.

The page also lists the most… 		I don't know. I like it being wider. I like it being brighter. It is quite dark and heavy as it is now. But I think you are missing out the contrasts that make the articles stand out. If you choose this way, I think you should have a stronger boarderline between the articles and the left column to make sure they still stand out. Maybe you could try light grey or silver grey colours on the right and left columns to keep the contrast to the articles but still brighten up the site. Then it would also still be symetric. It is also more difficult to find the search window now. I hope this helps and that I am not being to critical. Cheers
