Take your time.
Either you do it yourself: create an account, make up some name for  
the page, try to access it and enter your text; if you don't want to  
dive into Wiki syntax, we'll care for the markup.
Or you just post it to this list, and I'll pick it up (if I've some  
time).

I'd appreciate that, please.

Of course it's not your problem, but Hans is right: If you'd call a  
car "Daimler Bums" it would be a trademark infringement nevertheless...
And I suspect they even took the code from the original Palatino  
fonts...
