[thelist] hiding floats (CSS)

Nasty solution: javascript to detect the height of the parent div and
hide/remove the offending divs that fall below the bottom?  Or
generate the float divs dynamically.
Then you have to allow for when font resizing occurs in the browser (I
use ctrl-scrollywheel).

In pure CSS, you're probably best off to only show one of those leafy
things per page!

Love the transparent top menu btw.  Could the dropdown menu items be
less transparent? Or lose the transparency on mouseover/ :hover.
