Heh. Revived an old meme. It's all to do with Morse Code and the cool utility that I found here to help learn it. The rationale behind why you'd want to learn it is intriguing, though.
Why would they want to learn to ride a unicycle, or build a wooden boat? Like the unicycle, Morse code is a challenge. We can't learn either intellectually, say, by reading a book. Instead we practice, over and over, getting a little better with each little success.
Now, if you thought SMS-speak was awful (and I do), then Q Code and Morse Code abbreviations are even worse. For example,
S2 DE S1 = OK TNX QSO DR YETI = BEST 73 ES HPE CUAGN = + S2 DE S1 K means
Okay, thanks dear Yeti for this conversation. Best of luck to you and hope to see you again.
*shudder*
And you may have heard of the infamous hand of god goal by Diego Maradona, but have you heard about the lucky pucker ? No ? It turns out that a player got hit on the mouth with the football and all too coincidentally, the ball happened to roll into goal. A kiss of death for the opposing team. None of the opposing team supporters gave him any lip after that. Next time around though, he might just want to think about using his head and stopping his dentist from making a fortune in tooth repair.
Yep. That's a lucky ... p(h)ucker all right.
