I always wondered how they put on barcodes on stuff in the supermarket, shops, etc. It looks unique to me, the lines, the numerical codes the put below the lines. Impressed me pretty much who came up with the brilliant idea to use codes to tag stuff.
As part of my semi-hiatus bloggin', I decided to search about Barcodes on Yahoo.com and encountered a website where you can create your own barcode, all you have to do is enter your personal information ( don't worry nothing too personal ), all they asked was gender, age, height, weight, country and not even your name.
All of the calculations in Barcode Yourself are based on real world facts, gathered from the Internet. Data like the Gross Domestic Product of each country. Lichtenstein is #1, USA #2, and Sierra Leone is last. From the Center for Disease control, the Body Mass Index was used to figure out how healthy a person is based on height and weight and so forth.
