I have been doing security scans and penetration testing (yeah, I said it) all week. Most of the code I'm dealing with has parentheses and apostrophes in it. So I'm staring at that and thinking, what does that mean? Is it a hack attempt against the forum? And what's up with the t's? Do they signify something?

And then a face emerges, but are the t's ears? Is it a Vulcan? Or are they, wait. Those are ...

Well that's not nice. :P

Let's not forget semicolons: (XKCD #327)

I still have no idea what Pinback's original item meant.

I had to change around a puzzle in Cryptozookeeper because it relied on the same joke as that comic and nerds everywhere have committed every XKCD to memory.

In everyone's defense, it's a pretty easy joke to make. There's a picture of someone trying the same thing with similar text put on their car where the license plate is.
