when did it first start?
who coined the word?
was there a camera with a flash when the first girl raised her shirt?
i always wondered about the origins of flashing!

i think it was invented by the germans during world war 2 to distract the allies.

yeah i'm sure. flash = blitz. blitzkrieg = flash war.

on another note. about the anwb font. is it the proper one? you wanted to check right?
- DutchBoy0
yeah, so it seems yes.
and even the newer modified one. i believe the older one (80s/90s) wasn't even called anwb.. not sure tho.
too bad i cannot find that article again, about the deisgner etc.
thx tho!!

no prob. would like to know who designed it though..
so are you going to change your local highway signs?
have you ever seen the rotterdam highway signs being changed to rotjeknor? that was very funny. looked very real.
- DutchBoy0
hmm.. no, but i reckon that's exactly why this font is not meant to be redistributed! ;P
i'll see if i can find it again.
