OK...who's seen and understood the "pig latin" ad that appears in the new Blender?

OK..a chance to put some of my useless knowledge to work. A bit rusty too, but "Use your magic window decryptor." Even with that, the diagram to the right of the car and the "*" text along the inside, I'm clueless. Am now in process of scanning. Will post as soon as I see what I have to do to post an image on site.

It says "Use our magic window encyptor". Did anyone get a piece of polorized film from MINI? Maybe it's the sunroof of a MINI? Dunno why.

Oops. Yeah, Decryptor. I guess I shouldn't "scan" through threads so quickly.

Is there a clear plastic with bar-code looking printing (I'm guessing) page? When it's placed on the roof, something written should appear.

It says only MINI owners have the tool needed. I'm still thinking polorized glass is the key.

I'm just wondering if this part is a joke or something to actually figure out.

It does nothing when viewed through the sunroof or the windshields.

That'd be hilarious if you were supposed to view it through part of the car! Did you actually try? Also, even if that didn't work, I'm not sure that the polarized thing would show up very well on an internet image.

Although there is a congealed product sold as "soy cheese", you cannot make real or tasty cheese out of soy milk.

Look at the thing near the rear passenger-side wheel. What's it pointing to?

OK, try the text, what do we know about cat's whiskers? They are wide, sensitive, help the cat "steer" itself? What about the weight of the moon? It is huge, but in space. So, it's "weightless" or light? Brick of soy cheese... Mimics the original, but made with newer technology?
