board subliminal advertising?

Anyone else notice the subtle one-liners in between posts?"
You can barely see them unless you hightlight the font. (right click, hold down, swipe across, duh)
Things like "the new pelican is coming 2006", "buy Wayne's book", fuchs are awesome", Porsches are great", "have you seen my mouse?". "Wayne was here".

whaz all that about? If I didn't know any better I'd say that wayne needs to take a power nap

Yeah- they pop up when you print out a thread. Interesting. Didn't pay attention to it until I saw this, don't mind it really.

If you read the post backwards, it plays a Beatles song!

What? I've highlighted all the text and icons, etc. and don't see anything.

Could you be more specific on how to highlight the "messages" please?

IF you click reload they change too. They are only in a spaced section between posts. Like here

It appears every 6 messages counting from the top of any thread page. There's a white bar between the 6th & 7th (or 12th & 13th, etc) messages. If you highlight the bar you get to see the "secret" message. I'm feeling very sleepy, sleepy ...

OK. Got it! That's pretty cool. I'm guessing it's just Wayne and the web page designer playing around waiting for engineering types like Sam to find it.

Pretty cool though.

hmmm,


.. . you know, this seems to work better on white.

the light gray seems to give away just a bit.

But, then again, maybe thats better for the subliminal.

Lets no misunderestimate this.
