Maybe it’s just my PC, but there appears to be a slight problem with this column:

[http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mlizzieborden.html](http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mlizzieborden.html)

Using either IE 5.5 or Netscape 4.7, the last thing that appears just above the very bottom of the page is this (exactly):

“My take? The chance of a mysterious intruder killing A.J. and Abby Borden without being noticed by Lizzie and Bridget is m”

At least the last part of this sentence is missing.

Oh my God zgystardst you’re right!?! Could it be that John Corrado, in the midst of another of his fine Staff Reports, was about to reveal the true killer in the Borden murders, but was silenced by an unknown hand? Gasp! :eek:

I just called it up and it loaded fine.

Try calling it up, if you still see it in truncated form try “Cntrl” + “Refresh” and see if you don’t see it all that time.

Sorry for your inconvenience.

I can display it fine now. I did try the ctl-reload thing before I posted, but the page still came up truncated.

Thanks for your attention. I’ll take it up with those who are really responsible for my computer hiccup.

You know, you’re free to go after whoever is responsible for _my_ computer hiccup as well. I had the exact same problem, and reloading the page did nothing. Annoys the hell out of me. It’s fine now BTW.
