Looks okay on MacOS 8.6 using Opera 5. The top advertising banner being so wide kind of makes the text blocks look lonely off to the left side, though.

Looks good to me.
One possible comment is that at 1280X1024 the ad banner is centred somewhat to the right of the content and such, but that's not an issue I haven't seen on a million other sites, that tend to look generally nasty.

So yea, looks good.

Firefox 0.8, 1280X1024 normal font size.

Okay, I made the entire thing fixed width, and centered the box on the page.

How you like me now, bitch? => http://plagiarist.com/4.0/

Mmmmmm...delicious.  The new format seems to look good no matter how much I embiggen my text -- a definite plus!  

Also, I see one of your links under "interactive" would, were it operable, lead to comments on a poem by my favorite poet.  Kudos, my dear.

It *can* mean "to make bigger."  It just usually refers to one's moral stature, rather than physical...

Right?

Right?

The only canonical use refers to metaphoric growth not a change in physical size so I'm going to have to go with Wrong.

I believe "embiggen" means to make greater, not larger.

So you could say that having read the book embiggens your understanding of a film, or Viagra embiggns your member.

I must agree.  In it strictest sense, "embiggens" refers to moral or spiritual growth.  However, I think it is proper to use "embiggen" to refer to any sort of growth.  This sort of lexicographical expansionism is common.  

For instance, take the idiom "Travel broadens the mind."  This phrase does not mean that one's brain phyiscially expands along the horizontal plane, as a narrow reading of the word "broaden" would suggest.  It's metaphor, man!
