Heh! There is a Simpson's episode where Apu shows Bart the Fortran deck he saved from his Ph.D. work (1st program to play perfect tic-tac-toe). Bart asks "What's this for?", pulling a card out of the deck at random. Apu sighs and dumps the whole deck into the trash.
I guess Apu was absent the day they were told they could use the columns past 72 to number their decks, or to just draw a diagonal line on the top edge of the cards in the deck.
