I only get credit for noticing that it's at freaking 4:20.

My first thought upon seeing this was: "Happy I'm-a-total-geek Day!"

i wonder what kind of cross section the unix geeks and the 420 peeps have. this is like some grand conjunction for those five people.

I know enough hackers and sysadmins who are like om nom nom with teh green to suggest that this intersection is larger than that.
