I didn't download your page, reassemble it and erase all the italics to
test my guess, because I wouldn't have the time to test other guesses.
Other bugs that cause float drops are more consistent. Read about this
italics bug [1] and lots more at PIE.

overflow-x is a CSS3 property; MS has invented it and it is implemented
in IE-Win 5.0 and up (I hope others will correct me). I think it solves
the situation because it just cuts the exceeded width.
