   I feel dumb. Usually, these geek-shirt jokes are pretty obvious. I'm sure this one will be too.

   As soon as someone here explains it to me.

     @Professor_Stevens No idea, sorry. It’s not ASCII. Some sort of niche code?

     @Professor_Stevens OK, replace the sixes with ones and it spells out Geek in binary.

     @Professor_Stevens Something tells me someone might have been a little confused :)

     @aral

     Huh. You're right. It sure does. But what's the point of using the digit "6" here? Is it a play on words? Does "six geek" mean anything? Is "six" supposed to be homonymic with "sex?" Or "sicks," maybe?

     I think there's more to this.
