The binary code you read out, if I got it right: 0011010000110010, converts to 13362 in decimal and 42 in plain (ascii) text. It could be a reference to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where 42 to the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything.
0011010000110010...? Isn't that the phone-in number that the jingle plays in the 1980s local radio spoof Radio Active (Angus Deayton et alia)? Or am I just showing my age???!
Theres a list for you Rowley, Top Ten HHGTG Moments : 10. the earth being destoroyed to make way for a hyperspace bypass. 9.Slatibartfasts Name etc
