Saint Typo. Patron of Spell Checking & Google Searches. Born as Typernius but better known to his followers as Typo, this son of a drycleaner retreated to a cave near Belgrade to pursue the life of a hermit. He lived undisturbed except for fans, owls, & daily client faxes until the Duke of Copyrighting came thither a-hunting. As Typernius relates in his autobiography, the aforementioned Duke (about to be held captive in a perpetual meeting) asked him to proofread an annual report on his behalf. Typo's obsessive attention to detail soon gained a following & in his later years he entered a monastery in order to rest his eyes. He died in the Order of Strunk & White circa 303.Underdog informs me that this site will probably only be amusing to people involved in graphic design.
