I just visited the North Wing of Martha's Boarding House and found that exodus has returned.
Anyone up on their Hollerith codes?

Well, I'm a newbie here, but I'm old enough to remember punched cards.
As I read it the card has the following data:
QC4760 O77 ELECURODYNAMICT OF MAGNEUO %
Now, I think that whoever did this mispunched the card. It probably should read:
"ELECTRODYNAMICS OF MAGNETO"
The problem is in the 0-1, 0-2, and 0-3 punches. 0-1 is 'S', 0-2 is 'T', and 0-3 is 'U' . This appears to be an off-by-one error.
Unless, of course, it was intentional.
Just my $0.02...

I wonder if it has something to do with X-Men 2. Coming to theaters on May 2nd. As that is the only Magneto that I can think of.

While this is not trout , I'm posting this to dispell any further rumors. In checking with archived pages, this is an old page, and it didn't lead anywhere then. Upon further analysis, it doesn't lead anywhere now. I think this is just an easter egg, of sorts.

Martha's Boarding house: is this new? I went there and clicked on the punch card and it went to: http://www.marthasboardinghouse.com/exodus/a.htm
I totally don't get it. But those lines in the picture look tantalizing.
