	* A new logo that appeared in the [[Perplex City Sentinel]] on 18th April bears a new Latin phrase '''quaesitum quaerere sapientiae initium est'''. This translates to '''investigation to seek wisdom beginning is'''. Sounds very close to Clarence Darrow: ''Skepticism and doubt lead to study and investigation, and investigation is the beginning of wisdom''. It may also refer to the apocryphal text ''The Wisdom of Solomon'', 6:17: "The beginning of wisdom is the most sincere desire for instruction."		* A new logo that appeared in the [[Perplex City Sentinel]] on 18th April bears a new Latin phrase '''quaesitum quaerere sapientiae initium est'''.
