Well, if you pad it with 01 you get "binary muthafucka! do you speak it?!", so yay.

Probably because our number system is Hindu-Arabic, not Mayan.

I don't know,

The Mayans had there own zero as well. How do we know America is outsourcing their Zero's from India and not a defunct area of Mexico... both seem plausible.

Just to clarify, the red button binary translates to the topic title ("binary muthafucka! do you speak it?"), I didn't get that and I ended up translating it myself heh.

Modifying the character spacing in lines 5 and 8 was particularly nasty, as it introduced a lot of uncertainty about who to handle the "shorted" digits. Answer: wrap it all as one string, and add two zeroes to the end to make it come out to an even multiple of 8.
