OMG :-(

body {
font-size: 62.5%;
}
li, p, h1, h2, h3, td {
font-size: 1.3em;
}

Do you have any idea what this does when the user sets a minimum
font-size in their browser? The ridiculous 62.5% is ignored, and the
rendered font ends up a ridiculous 1.3em of the minimum, which is
stupidly large.

I don't know who started this crap, but it is an incredibly stupid
practice. Leave the bloody font at 100%!
