Did anyone mention the distorted text lines in the background?

When the lines are placed above each other, they seem to spell "COGITO ERGO SUM" = "I think, therefore I am".



It all sounds very Shodan to me; which I like.

Discuss.

EDIT: Sorry Googolplex, you got there first - carry on then!

EDIT: HOLD THAT THOUGHT!!

It turns out after a bit of rummaging that 右列 also has some meanings that ONLY apply in old Chinese grammar...like really old:

1. A talented elder
2. The highest ranked of a once active "Six Ministries" that old dynasties of China used to employ called 吏部. The 吏部 mainly dealt with matters regarding employment, promotion, demotion, etc
3. A war commander

EDIT 2: By itself 右 in old Chinese grammar is also a way of saying someone is higher ranked than you, whether in truth, or as a compliment. It could also just mean someone's awesome.

Nice! Does "右" only mean that about a person, or could it be about other things? Could it be so that "列" is "file", so it would be something like a high ranked / very important file? Does that make any sense at all? xD

The last percent was indeed a little late and yeah "Cogito ergo sum" was mentioned right after the page went up (:
