Which is better, hedge or bush?

This is what fallen hedge fund billionaire J Ezra
Merkin
could well be asking himself. According to today's Guardian he faces lawsuits to the tune of £66m for squandering investors' money in Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme.
Whatever happened to nominative determinism? Perhaps Merkin should have shunned hedges and stuck with bushes. [:I]

RD: How do you do that thing where you have a link highlighted but it's not the actual name of the website? Like how you have 'Judge Judge' instead of the actualy website name

I'll use round brackets instead of square.
(url=whatever.com)PUT YOUR TEXT HERE(/url)
If you use the Quote facility on a reply that has that type of link then you can see it quite clearly.
Now why didn't I think of that!

I was attempting to riff from Blakestyger's reference to
nominative determinism
:
people having surnames which match their job, e.g.
Dr Brain the neurologist
.

How do you get that image onto the screen? Before you deleted your post? [

It's a jpeg of a "screen grab" attached to the post.

You need something like "
Snipping tool
" or some other image capture programme which allows "frame grab" :
to copy what is on the screen.

You'll have to scale the width of the image to 900 (or less) so it doesn't run off the screen.
If you don't have an image manipulation programme there's a free one called
GIMP
(it's a photoshop-type programme)
GIMP allows the creation of animation : here's one I made earlier ...

Why does it go fuzzy when I resize it?

I meant scale the image width to 900 pixels, not resize the jpeg file.
Your resized (down sized) fuzzy image still runs off the screen: it is over 900 pixels wide.
BTW a jpeg of that size will have to be at least 30Kb to be readable (not fuzzy).
A programme like GIMP or similar photoshop-type programme will allow you to scale an image: change its dimensions in pixels, and change the size of the file it occupies: i.e. change the amount of memory it occupies, i.e. alter the amount of compression.
Your image is fuzzy because it is too compressed.
