Ok, it actually says my name 3 different ways:

1) Some of the bars are modified (with cross-pieces) to spell 'aaron'
2) The numbers underneath the bars -- 017586501614 -- if converted into binary yield a 35 digit number. Break that number up into five 7-bit chunks and look at the ASCII representation for each, it spells 'aaron' too.
3) And yes, if you had a scanner that could do a format called EAN-128 (I think), it would scan 'aa'.

Ha!

I don't get this...? (unless you're trying to imply it's "down there"..!)
