"Then you could read the whole assemblage as two 64-bit hex numbers and one 128-bit hex number:
 
151D, 1000, 1000E
 
Now, what their significance might be, I still couldn't say, but maybe this is a step in the right direction." 

DUH!

I meant, of course, two 32-bit numbers and a 48-bit number. Where do you ever run across 48 bit numbers in computer science?

This of course comes to us from the man who had a character spend his entire childhood reading "M*MILLION" as Monsieur Million.
