It's such a poor drawing, so I'll tell you that it's meant to be a "Dunce" hat.
kayladavies
Yes, that's correct
chocolatedog
Its way over his head?????? (Referring back to the /D\ one.....unsure.gif )

I'll re-do the other one - the dots are not part of this, they're just to try to get the spacing a little better.

There are 10 sorts of people - those who understand binary and those who don't.
