The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.
Your question was:

> Oh Spiffy-Qool Oracle, who has a Niftier Computer than Kibo, even
> though he doesn't Design Fonts, Please answer my Query.
>
> What is a Kibo, and What Does He Do?  If He Designs Fonts, what does
> he Wear?  Would he Design Better Fonts if he wore BVDs?  What if He
> Wore BVDs to the exclusion of All Other Clothing?  Would he best Be
> Able to Design Fonts if he wore BVDs While He Was Designing Fonts,
> or would it be Sufficient for him to simply wear them Once In A While?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

}
} Unfortunately I am under a restraining order and may not tell you who
} Kibo is as that is very privileged information for which I can get
} in very deep trouble due to the Divine Secrets Act.
}
} I can, however, try to answer your questions about BVDs and Fonts in
} a general manner and perhaps this may help you.
}
} There have been numerous studies into the correlations between BVDs
} and Font Design.  Few people realize it but Font Design goes all the
} way back to ancient times when the eariest Font Designers were sculpters
} who worked mostly with crypts.  Their works were known as `grotesqueries'
} from the Italian `grotte' which later became `grotto' and today has
} become `Speedo'.  BVDs were developed in the Sixteenth century as a
} symbol of great Font Designing power, the highest being the Y-Fonted
} BVDs.  In the late Eighteenth century, the functionality of BVDs
} brought them to the masses as they quickly overtook the Boxer Shorts
} which had been dominant in the Church at the time.
}
} Today, the meanings of BVDs and Font Designing are almost forgotten and
} the terms have changed as if to hide their path.  But those who know
} the true power of BVDs will find that wearing them while Designing
} Fonts will indeed enhance their abilities.  However, prolonged use
} of BVDs may lead to sterility so it is important to only wear them
} while Designing Fonts and to wear nothing else over them at the time.
}
} You owe the Oracle a new printer ribbon and a G-string.
}

you owe AjD a homebrew, homeboy.
