True or false: the man who designed this typeface had carnal relations with his two sisters, his two daughters and his dog?

True, in 1974 on a chilly day in January, Peter Sanchez was working in his herb garden and found some mushrooms, he put those mushrooms on some pizza and *BAM!* the legend was born.

I'm impressed that you know this little tid-bit about this great man. You get a cookie.

Bodies, I do believe that was the most idiotic question you've ever asked. And it wasn't even amusing, as such questions often are. For shame, Bodies. For shame.

Actually it's true according to Wiki:

Gill's devout Roman Catholicism did not prevent him from living a bohemian lifestyle and taking lovers. According to the 1989 biography by Fiona MacCarthy, Gill's relationships included two of his sisters and two of his daughters. His personal diaries also describe, in great detail, regular sexual activity between himself and the family dog.


The question is, is it true or a wiki hoax?

The point being that it was actually true... strange that the fact that headquarters of the BBC feature a prominent sculpture by a man who partook in incest, bestiality and pedophilia passes so often without comment.

Discover Magazine's Flash Column in the R&D section, March 2006:

"Science entries in WIKIPEDIA, the open-souece online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, are nearly as error-free as those in Encyclopaedia Britannica, according to a team of expert reviewers."

Thought that might be marginal, but related. *nods*
