It was hard to put a finger on it (due to my flat screen monitor). But, for a guy that gets up close and personal with pentatomidaes, its a sure bet.

Some parts more than others Teeks!

Did a Matti and just inspected the elements of the gif attachments and it spelled it out for me. Too lazy to translate

Well done TBT, we certainly have a knowledgeable lot this corner of the forum!

Cheers, SB

PS:The pentatomid bugs are known as 'true bugs'. All insects are not bugs!

Sad old buggers, but quite fun.

Haven't seen hexadecimal since I used to mess with early computers.

That's the Navajo/Dene language spoken by the Navajo code talkers ("Windtalkers") of WWII. (and the subject of a dreadful Nicholas Cage movie of the same name). =)

 

Well done indeed! Yes, it's an interesting history. Especially the high regard in which the Navajo code talkers were held. Stirling stuff and great men indeed.

Cheers, SB

 

Nice ***** Seb, how did you do that?
