Hi Mike, thanks for sharing that with us. It is indeed classic. Even better, since it coincides precisely with a point I've just recently made in a lecture, is the Stand Back, I'm Educated! - The Daily WTF post as it's is a classic example of the danger of not knowing such things ;-)

Incidentally, confusion about hexadecimal cropped up in the feedback from that lecture [see Lecture #7: One-Minute Paper - Frequently Asked Questions] and I've just updated the page with a link to that Daily WTF post.

Thanks again for sharing,

Duncan
