I'm still impressed that this actually works. (With certain fonts, 
anyway...)

Also, I still think this is one of the nerdiest ways to say "2 + 2". ;-)

That's nothing. By the magic of unicode, I have a file named "Tīrtha 
Mahārāja, Jagadguru Śaṅkarācārya Śrī Bhāratī Kṛṣṇa - (1981) Vedic 
Mathematics.djvu".  (I could've named it "तीर्थजी महाराज,
जगद्गुरु स्वामि श्री 
भारती कृष्ण - (1981) Vedic Mathematics.djvu"!)

   The question in today's corporate environment is not
   so much "what color is your parachute?" as it is
   "what color is your nose?"
