<tip>
CSS provides a much more elegant way of removing the whitespace around
lists.
Try this:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
UL{ margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
hey hey
<ul>
<li>I'm big...</li>
<li>I'm fat...</li>
<li>I'm cool...</li>
</ul>
I'm Fat Albert
</body>
</html>
</tip>
