Hexadecimal mystery: "sin is geographical"

Apologies if it's already been discussed, but we all see a block of hexadecimal at the root .com domain, http://egafd.com, right? I'm served a white page with this block in the center:

0111001101101001011
0111000100000011010
0101110011001000000
1100111011001010110
1111011001110111001
0011000010111000001
1010000110100101100
0110110000101101100

If you decode the hexadecimal (each group of eight 1s or 0s represents a letter), it says "sin is geographical," which is a Bertrand Russel quote.

It's just the .com domain, http://egafd.co.uk/ doesn't produce the same result.

Good quote, but does anyone know what's up with that?

As you suspectet, it's been discussed here:

alec's answer:
>>It's because the sites are not entirely restored as yet.

But thanks for the decoding of the hexadecimal. Really good quote:-)

Thanks for sending the link, deezer - I thought so, too. It was new to me.

Who's responsible for that sort of mischevious puzzle around here? :)
