| The owner of the Asperger Home Education Forum has several hard to find typefaces in his collection in the form of .ttf files. He definitely has Bell Centennial. |

| I suspect that AS is unheard of in many 'third world' countries. AS only became known about in Britain after Hans Asperger's articles on the subject were translated into English in 1991. There appears to be little evidence of pieces of the AS puzzle, such as publicity of unexplained AS traits, in Br... |

So, I tried to cut back on my milk consumption, but then I started getting cravings.... similar to the cravings I get for nicotine. I used t... |

| Have you ever wondered how much energy it takes to produce a gallon of hydrocarbon fuel? The energy required to extract the oil from the well to delivering the fuel to the tank and everything in between. |

| Here are some recommendations for a smarter alternative to Arial and Times New Roman. I'm surprised that the typefaces developed for American newspapers during the early 20th century, such as Excelsior or Corona, are not widely used today like Times Roman is. These typefaces were specially designed ... |

BMW did some research into hydrogen burning internal combustion engines. I have no idea what materialised from it.

| A BMX was the bike I learned to ride on. I used to ride mainly by myself and didn't hang out with BMX groups but they vanished shortly afterwards when BMXs went out of fashion and mountain bikes were what all kids were riding. I have owned several BMXs over the years and still ride them today but I'... |

At the time nobody could understand it or reasons behind it so it was interpreted as low standards in a similar way to people who wear dirty tatty clothes. My handwriting was appalling.
