The thing that is bugging me is why the source data has an incomplete byte at the end… I’m guessing just so that the binary would make a solid block of square text when posted in the profile, but every other sentence in the code ends in punctuation and the last line does not.

I know I am just being picky, but it would have made more sense to me if the sequence had ended with

1101000111111011 instead of the five trailing zeros.

When bit-flipped and ascii-fied, this would have ended the final line with a period and then inserted a [EOT] marker, which is commonly used in unix-like systems to signal an end-of-file. (cite)

Truthfully, when I first looked at the block of binary, my first instinct was to ascii’fy the text, and then when that was unintelligible, try a rot13 to decrypt it. When that didn’t work I set it aside to try and crack it later, but guess I waited too long. Log in to see images!

Anyhow, great job MrThePlague, congratulations! *applause*
