you're not serious about this are you?

actually, this years pragma new-year card uses something like this but a
bit more advanced (you've seen it -)

Thanks. Now it works like expected.
BTW, how to fit text into a small box if I don't care about where word
breaks?
can you explain that a bit more?

Text in columns formatted as if table was not widened. What did I miss

table is not that clever -)
