What if William Shakespeare wrote The Big Lebowski?∞
I’m a massive fan of The Big Labowski. And let’s face it, who isn’t? I’m reading this when I have a spare few minutes. “You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don’t wanna know about it, believe me. Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o’clock this afternoon… with nail polish. These fucking amateurs…”

It’s pretty cool the effects you can do with CSS3, no doubt. Even if IE doesn’t have a clue what you’re trying to achieve. This page tries to have some fun with the border radius propery.
