Megatokyo is funny. I like VG Cats though.

Is anyone interested in Morse code or binary watches?

Ah Robert, Memories!


MuseSusan, there is a U.S. site (ThinkGeek.com) which sells very similar stuff if that is easier for you. (Sorry, I don't know in which country you are based)
Now that everyone and his dog have seen the binary (10 people understand etc.) look up their hex dead people shirt.

Yes, I've been to that site, but it's always fun to look around it again! I do like the hex dead people, and the Einstein one.

I've always kinda wanted to make my own shirts, though--I kinda want to illustrate the phrase "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously", and I've been plotting for a while to make a shirt that says "Embrace the geek within you".

And since I'm a super math nerd, and an experienced calculus tutor, I'd like to make a large stamp, or possibly a brand, that says "USE THE PRODUCT RULE" so that I could threaten to stamp it on people's foreheads…

I have seen an illustration of "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously." Inevitably, the colorless green idea was so wrapped up in the bedsheets that you couldn't see what it looked like...

Martin, your Firefox setting does the morse code alphabet, but it doesn't put in the / between words, so the translated text is pretty confusing! (Itlooksratherlikethis:readable,butallstucktogether) *grin*
