Ok -- but why S2G?  S+6 == Y and G+4 == K, neither of which bear any apparent
relation.  64 != 38 (base 10) in a different number base.

Signed 2G perhaps?  It just lacks the immediate clarity of Y2K+38.

Actually, whoever wrote it was pretty good.  They had an above average grasp
of physics and had some good (and possibly doctored) photos.  Even sidestepped
the inevitable "Oh yeah?  So why hasn't the US had a civil war yet?" with
explanation of a Minkowski block universe.
