Just having read the Chinese Symbol Soup thread, I've been inspired to propose an alternate take on this concept.
Given that our postmodern culture has a facination for all sorts of spirituality, I'd be remiss as a red-blooded American if I didn't come up with a way to cash in on it. And so, this
idea: make a soup with noodles which represent both broken(--) and unbroken(_) line segments, and package it with a book of interpereting I Ching ideograms. Naturally, as the segments mix in the broth, they will tend to form at least rough representations of ideograms. Hype it up as "food for the body *and* soul", and an ad campaign proclaiming "a different fortune with every bowl!", and you'd have the crystals and candles crowd eating out of your hand (and more importantly, eating the soup you sold them)!
What do you think, sirs?

Repackage someone else's ramen noodles. Inflate price X 10. Promote. Sell. Ka-ching! |

It's not like the UI or concept here is anything too difficult to grasp [bliss]. |

As in too apathetic to put together a string of invective that might actually cause offense. Rather than pity. |

[Steve] I'd propose it, but it's been baked on pretty much every board I've seen where people are familiar with HTML. |

Oh, right. *rolls eyes* (j/k, I think that's clever, now that I've got your meaning.) |

You would have thought the idea was proposing community service for the under-16's from the response it got. |

I'm pulling my replies to the troll, since they look silly without the text they referred to. (not that they needed help looking silly, mind you.) |

Hey, I missed this the first time around...
//How do you make a noodle that looks like a broken line segment?//
You could substitute another shape for the broken-lines. Perhaps an "o" shape. |
|

That could work, too. And it's more aesthetically pleasing, to boot. |
|
| |
Yes, [bliss]. But this time, I'm getting proactive on their (or its, as the case may be) stinking carcasses. |
