Dot product
17 May, 2010At the 65daysofstatic gig, I bought this t-shirt. It’s XL and I am not, but that is not the problem here. The problem is: what on earth does it say?
Help!
This is not straightforward Braille; even after reading up on grade 2 contractions I can’t make any sense of it. Perhaps this is grade 3, or not in English? This is what I have so far:
f or from or 6 e or every or 5 ë or ed ä or ar " sh ow é or for sh or shall th or this ä or ar
“Hey, nice t-shirt, what does it say?”
“65 mumble show for mumble arr!”
Have you considered the possibility that it’s just a series of dots that have no meaning?
Yes. I have also considered the possibility that it was accidentally printed backwards or something. It starts with ’65′, though.
A Braille T-Shirt.
This could get embarrassing quickly…
… Although anyone who can see where to put their fingers isn’t blind enough to use the braille and therefore deserves a slap
Equally the same logic is used for the Braille door signs at Lufbra
Not anywhere you would naturally put your hand while looking for the room name.
You may be thinking of this. Not really my style
Could it be the start of “65 days of static”, i.e. “65 days of sta”… see wonderful ASCII highlighting below

Well, it’s tenuous but it fits. Given their name, it makes a kind of sense. Accepted answer
I think it says “I just lost the game”
