 * I noticed that about one out of every 5 times I loaded a page, my nav bar would
   or would not be centered. I changed a million css properties trying to fix it,
   then I noticed the error_log kept updating.
 * First I was getting: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header()
 * Every forum topic I read said that it had something to do with a corrupt install
   of wordpress. So, I did what people said. Deleted everything, put in a fresh 
   install, then uploaded my wp-config and my theme. Still the same problem.
 * So, then I thought, hey! Why not just get rid of get_header!
 * then I removed all instances of get_header()
 * the bumping nav still happened and then it was PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined
   function language_attributes()
 * after deleting that I got PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bloginfo()
 * obviously I can’t remove EVERY wordpress function from my wordpress install. 
   And I’ve re-installed wordpress like twice!

 * Also, I’ve deactivated all my plugins and get the same result.

 * It was a bad line of code in my header, and a bad one in my CSS
