okay for those of you who happen to be on the other side of this sarchasm:

the red dots spell out "CV is stupid 2.0"

and yes, ron was in fact able to read them.

although I will admit that in a recent poll, it turns out that 92 out of 100 people could not read it either. 67 of the 92 claimed they did not recognize the fact that they were letters in the first place.  20 of them claimed they recognized some letters but could not make out what it said, perhaps because they just can't read, or can't spell properly, or some other reason altogether; overall it is somewhat ironic that these people are in fact also stupid 2.0.  The remaining 5 of the 92 were in fact color blind, or at least they claimed to be.  Further studies may need to be conducted in order to find out whether they were telling the truth or lying because color-blind is the new "in" thing to be. 

Of the 8 people who were in fact able to make out what it said: At least 5 of them cannot be trusted as validly being able to read it, as they failed to reveal their knowledge on the subject until after i went and spoiled it in the irc chatroom.  Of the other 3, 2 can be 100% confirmed, one of them being myself, of course, as I wrote the damn thing.  As far as the 3rd person goes, there is reason to believe that I may in fact have multiple personality disorder, and so I may have answered twice.  Further investigation is in order on that count, as well.

Color me stupid 2.0 Crayon, but I fail to see a hint of any letter forming with those dots.

Once the fact that there was a message there was pointed out, I was quickly able to discern the individual letters. Now that I know what I'm looking for, do you have another one? I'd be interested to see if I could decipher one when I know what I'm after.

that isn't unhealthy. I get regular checkups, and I am at a perfectly normal weight.  It is normal to be that weight when your as tall as me.

My sister is about 5'6 or so, 16 years old, and she weights 107.  When she was 15 she weighed 99.  Small weight runs in our family.

dude... I'm 6'3" and 205 lbs... and I'm not exactly overweight.  I could lose maybe 10 lbs, but ... I just don't get it.  If I lost 65 lbs, I'd be emaciated.

Yep, I"m about the same as you ober, 6'3, range from between 200-210, usually around the middle.  I remember in High School I was only about 175, which was really skinny.  140 is anorexic.

Yeah, I was 180 in high school and that was only the lighter side. 

And technically Ron, you're underweight: http://www.weightwatchers.ca/health/asm/calc_healthyweight.aspx

i'm 5'8" (i know, short) and 170 lbs, and something like 12% body fat.  there is no way you can possibly be at a healthy bodyfat % at 140lbs and 6'2".  and where the BMI tables are concerned (as ober linked you), it's far more difficult to argue the underweight region as healthy than the overweight region.
