				| After getting the offer for the free matches I decided to share with the group.  Here is my version of the cigarettes seen in the extra discs of the latest BR DVD set. 
 Just a modified Marlburo cig pack.  Print and fold as needed.
 
 enjoy

 Not much!  Most of the Katakana characters are reversed, but even after flipping them over, they don't add up to anything as far as I can from a cursory look.  Some of the Katakana characters are obsolete, and there are a few mathematical and other symbols thrown in as well.
 
 These are some wild smokes!
   
 Nice work, thomas.  Thanks for sharing!

 You know, the Matrix code seems to consist of Japanese syllables and numbers, sometimes rotated or mirrored. Maybe we have stumbled upon an unforeseen connection here...

				| Interesting observation! 
 An homage to BR by the Wachowskis?
