Mike’s Experiments - CSS: Text Shadows

Did you know pure text drop shadows can be elastic and yet remain stable? This experiment is meant to affirmatively answer that age-old question, as stated: “Did you know pure text drop shadows can be elastic and yet remain stable?” The answer, of course, is obviously and quite emphatically yes, it can! :-)
