let's go exploring

Who decided that curacao should be colored blue? I know that it was done to give it an "exotic" appearance, but there's still a certain disconnect for a liqueur made from the bitter peel of oranges. Why couldn't it be violet? Or indigo? Or bright green and speckled gold? There are so many options!

Also, I was talking to another intern today, and he told me a "simple way" to lengthen a report by about one page-and-a-half longer. How? By changing every period to size fourteen in a size twelve font paper. Is this a genius trick, or just sheer laziness?

Yes, work is slow today.
