Are you guys talking about me binary my back?
 
I remembered where the other good binary reference was - Family Guy. There's an episode in which the family goes to a museum and there's an exhibit with a "living diorama" to illustrate binary. It's Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan, reciting strings of 0's and 1's.

Let's try it this way...counting down from 10 in binary...

1010
1001
1000
0111
0110
0101
0100
0011
0010
0001

So, you see, you're 01 in 10.

So glad I majored in Food Service Administration!!! I had a roommate in college that I believe had to learn this "stuff" She was not a nerd or a geek...she was a young girl that felt it was ok to "binary with her boyfriend" in the same room! Not a good thing to wake up to!!!!:eek: :yuck: :yuck:
 
Kinda gives new meaning to the term, binary interface.
