Insto-seal












Heh. This is cute: An Official Seal Generator, so you can generate your own faux-institutional seal of approval. There's mine above!

The logo text, in case you're wondering, comes from an old saying in newsrooms: "Interesting if true." It's a pithy way of saying "wow, this news story tip would make for a superb scoop ... if it actually turns out to be real." It's a distant relative of the much more ignoble (ignobler?) dictum of yellow journalism: "Too good to check."

Anyway, I've always wanted to have a big rubber stamp saying INTERESTING IF TRUE that I could thwack down on intriguing story leads.


(Thanks to 43 Folders for this one!)

the first time I ran into that slogan was a proposal that it be stamped on every church.
