OK, What the Hell Happened to My Circumflexes?

OK, what the hell happened to my circumflexes?

In Dreamweaver my Bâby's are right as rain, but when I bend over (loading them in IE) there's a stabbing pain (they turn into capital betas).

10 points for naming the reference, and 100 points for telling me why they got messed up.

No fonts were harmed in the creation of this problem.

Greg,

I checked the Player Stats and also the 2003 stats... both show up fine in Mozilla on OS X. Could be an IE thing... but since Age's work on here, maybe he (or someone else) could tell you why it's not in IE.

-10 cause I don't get the reference :-/

Bless you, my child.

Ms. McGill (no tea jokes) is awarded 100 points and extraordinarily good karma for correctly diagnosing the problem!

10 points are still on the line, and I'll be very impressed if anybody under the age of thirty nails it.  Oblique hint: there is a Cornell hockey connection involved.

Tea jokes?  ::shifty:: ::help::

Glad that solved your problem!

Underdog.

No, I didn't know that, but Google did.  Do I get partial credit?

I'm assuming that's actually an Ess-Zett (German sharp S, i.e., ß).

Robb, you don't win jack because you cheated, however it appears someone can still earn, say, 25 points by giving the context of the quotation (a cursory search of the Net suggests it won't help you).

I'm probably going to look stupid for asking this, but...what exactly is the part of the first post that is making the reference, which obviously I don't get?

But when I bend over, there's a stabbing pain."

(Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

Dang, and I need a few more points for the championship, too!  :-(

If I hadn't been away on vacation, the Underdog points would have been mine...mine...mine!!

[Greg Berge]

See what happens when you go to Maine?

Serves ya right.

Are you waiting for someone to go to the Underdog archives at the Museum of Television and Radio, or are you going to tell us the context, Greg.  ;-)
(Can you ::help:: us out, Anne?)
