Both have exactly the same pattern also.

🎓 Doc Freemo 🇳🇱 @freemo@qoto.org

@Pat sort of, they are both randomized by the same parameters. But being random they differ on a pizel by pixel basis

Pat @Pat@qoto.org

Actually, they are pixel by pixel the same. (my almost autistic pattern matching at work again)

I just fed the bit pattern into a .WAV file and when I play it backwards it says, "I buried Paul..."

Anyone who watches old horror movies would get it :)

Young Beatles fans might get it.

I don't watch horror films so I don't get that reference.

Yes as that goes with the idea that Paul is dead thing, hence how they are dressed on Abbey road, (and that Paul is holding cigarette in right hand)

Ah, that could explain it, I ahve watched A hard days night and still don't really understand what 100 guineas means, i know 1 guineas is 1 pound 5 shillings.

I am not even sure that is spelt right.

The guinea hasnt existed since 1971. I'm pretty sure no one ever understood the old English monetary system.

I got confused a while back trying to mark the american footballl field out for training, need to put markers 10 yards part, tape measure in feet and inches, thankfully I got help 30 feet = 10 yards, once I knew that it is easy.

They just do that so taxi drivers can rip off the tourists.
