I don't think it worked that way. I think it was an idea developed while reviewing and synthesizing other research studies.

I didn't notice a font but I did take your point via text.

Although passing on a Pope Pizzaballa may turn out to be a David Lee-like blunder.

Okay - I guess that was wrong. It seems the new pope is a homegrown from the Chicago Fire academy!

You just know Pizza Hut had the Pizza Ball all ready to go, and now they're all like, "Sonofabitch!"
