I don't know who these belong to, but I sat next to their owner during Robin Christopherson's "Beyond A Code Audit" presentation. They seemed too perfect not to ask to take a snap of them. Sir, I salute you (and hope you don't mind the "geek" sobriquet)
Pete Lambert, alexknowshtml, Jen Sbragia, jcjface, and 96 other people added this photo to their favorites.

Yes, it's an invalid code, but it makes sense if you read it out loud.

And BTW, to all the people who say the tag, ending with tag is invaid, you can tell them that it needs another pair of hands to complete itself and give it meaning ;)

Hi. It might interest you to find that this picture was featured here: www.geeksaresexy.net/2008/11/26/wednesday-geeky-pics-geek...
And yes, you wouldn't believe how many people have told me it's "invalid", but like foursevensix said, you need to say it aloud for it to make sense :)

I like this concept.....I know the codes are "invalid" but to me it signals that no matter how much you love someone - those feelings will always eventually turn to hate somewhere along the line :(

Tattoos signify far more than real life values anyway, so for me the fact that the code is invalid doesn't bother me - a great idea!

Hi Francis! Just letting you know that I featured your photo on my website. We had a question: Chinese Girlfriend's Mom Hates My Guts and your photo fit perfectly.
Thanks so much for sharing!
