Seriously, you would expect things to be rather different if you take away
the pictures. A design that had various things in various places is simply
going to look different when those things are not going to be there. So you
need to ask yourself: what is it about the template that you like? This is
the same question as asking yourself what is invariant about it that you
like? Sure it was a joke, but it was meant to make you think a bit. I don't
joke lightly for fun, believe me. That *is* my day job. Its a small club, I
don't get paid much, but hey, its hard to get work here and I don't have to
take my clothes off... (ok... what about the quality of the Jewish joke?
That's not mine, But admit it, go on, it is good huh?)

(OK I feel guilty now. Table cells grow according to the content. If you
*must* have a certain size and look and want to use tables, the best is to
make content. It is not something that is not done at all in web design.
Anyway, mark parnell has given you an excellent set of links to get busy
with. Best of luck)
