I reckon it could be done using eric meyer's slantastic method along 
with height: 100%; applied to 3 main column divs floated left with some 
left negative margins on them... oh and italic text. It'll probly look a 
bit naff and text-resizing will be an issue at larger sizes. Backwards 
compatibility is sucky too so you'd need an IE5.5 and below filter to 
convert back to plain columns.

It'd be interesting to see if it works. Best off with flash if looks are 
more important than search engines though.

Good luck =]
