Hello Kopimists,

As founders of a new religion, we should probably take some lessons from some other previous ones. I was doing just that today as I was researching in the Vatican. As you know it's the home of a religion that's almost had the right idea, except their leader, through some tragically bad mobile phone reception, thought the idea was "fish-sharing". If the cell networks of their time were up to snuff experts presume they they would have come to the right conclusion of what sharing is a holy right.

Or was it that this unfortunate error was long ago righted by advanced post-transmission auto-correction by the secret and masterful gang of ancient computer scientists sometimes known as The Papal Lineage? Let us inspect.

The earliest example of high-resolution desktop backgrounds were of course made in 1502 by hacker Pope Julius II under the Handle M1cha3lang3l0. A particularly fine specimen is Sistine_Chapel_1920_x_1080.png , beneath I include a symbolic link I found of it.



Yet, this isn't an ordinary link. Using an exploit of their primitive operating system the header section of the file was allow to contain arbitrary data. Jokesters they were, the Pon.tiffs hid a secret key. Obviously disguised as an actual pair of crossed keys.


Let's zoom in on the left key and rotate 90 degress counterclockwise around the Tree structure.

Here the clinching evidence is found. Unsurprising for the time, memory was scarce so all text was displayed in low resolution. Still very clearly it can be seen two Kapital K's making up the pins of the Keys (I've outlined one in red). As we all know the pixelated K logo was developed a millenia before by the great Isak Gerson. This is not unsurprising really when we recall that Julius II's mysterious, and never explained tranvestite confession to his progeny may not have been "I is a girl, son"

Yours,
Not confusing
