    “Russ Weakley was raised by wolves on the steppes of Southern Russia. He highly recommends the use of superfluous s and likes to accuse the element of being lazy.”

    Very close! I knew, just by looking at you, that you have Swedish blood.

    Something like:

    The upper left image is inserted as a background image in the -container and the upper right image is inserted in the -element

    @martin: Excellent! Some incorrect tense’s in there – assuming it is written in the same tense as the original book. Anyone else want to narrow it down further or should we call it quits and give away a book?
