  1. I like the addition of wallpaper. Is it supposed to be similar the common room at CMRS?

    I also really like the OED's definition of codpiece.

  2. Yes, you guessed it!

    And I also like that definition ;)

  3. I wonder someday, someone will bring the codpiece back -- much like Justin Timberlake brought sexy back?

    It would be far more amusing, I think, but potentially far more disturbing.

  4. I think Stanley Kubrick tried to bring back a largely unadorned version of the cod-piece: http://www.moviecritic.com.au/images/a-clockwork-orange-alex-at-the-korova-milk-bar.jpg
