What's in *your* histogram?
Heh--this is one of the cooler things I've seen in quite a while. David Friedman of Ironic Sans has hidden a picture in an innocuous-looking gradient. Can you find the image?

Elsewhere in the realm of genius through illegibility: check out this recruiting ad for Lunar BBDO, rendered in typographic dingbats. (That that, Google math nerds. ;-)) For more on steganography (hidden writing) of all sorts, check out the Wikipedia entry.
