Barcodes and nerd humor

Date March 31, 2008

So there we are playing with a bluetooth barcode scanner. Some asks what type of barcodes it’s reads, and someone says 3 of 6, someone else says 2 of 5…(do you know where this is going?)…

I pipe up and say “I bet it likes 7 of 9, I sure do” (7 of 9 was a hotty on star trek voyager) .

The barcode scanner actually reads interleaved 2 of 5 (plus some others).
