It doesn’t get much nerdier than this *
Monday, May 30th, 2005* Actually, it probably does.
I can’t get this unbelievably esoteric t-shirt idea out of my head, so I thought I might as well post it here. If anyone actually finds this funny, please check your dosage let me know and I’ll stick it up on CafePress.

* isn’t geeky enough to get this…
(I never thought I’d see the day)
- Is it something to do with the bits for the â™Ұ when interpreted as ascii or something like that? I’m curious now, damn you!
