The l's and 0's in the binary translation make the code: 10101010011010010, which if you remove either the first or the last digit and convert to text make either, ªi OR TÒ which isn't very helpful. -- LostFire (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
10101010011010010 in hexadecimal is 154D2 which could mean "I'm sad too". Noit (talk) 00:34, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

On the 'o's and 'O's - Converting 011001110010111 from binary to decimal gives 13207. Googling that number only gives hits about Syracuse. Does anyone know if there's a connection there? 141.101.89.205 01:04, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
This Binary-to-Ascii converter tool can be used to decode the sequence to a string. --Pudder (talk) 12:23, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
