Excited disbelief

I've always been something of a closet grammar / punctuation nazi, albeit in a somewhat hypocritical manner at times (damn clumsy fingers). So today I got more excited than is probably normal upon discovering the interrobang. Simply put, the interrobang is a punctuation character that is used as a combination of ? and !.
Now I've used the ?! or !? combination many times and whilst it perfectly conveys my emotions, I've never quite felt comfortable about having to use 2 symbols when one should suffice. Finally, I feel punctually complete. So, I give you the interrobang:


So got forth and spread the good word about this most excellent of marks, for great justice as they say. For more info about the interrobang, the all knowing Wikipedia is an interesting read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrobang

Edit: Its just come to my attention that IE refuses to display the interrobang in all its glory. All I can recommend is getting a real browser (http://getfirefox.com or http://apple.com/safari or similar)
