When Mr. Linton starts waving those bigger flags I laughed so hard xD

I don't know about you guys, but I would totally watch "Gunfight at O.K. Corral in Morse Code."

[Pavielpetrovich]

Heathcliff's semaphore signals at the start of the segment, subtitled "Oh! Catherine" are actually "OH_OH", while Catherine's response, subtitled "Oh! Heathcliffe" seems to be something like "OHEATHJ_". And they misspelled Heathcliff's name.

Julius Caesar is from late Republican Rome, not Imperial Rome.

And they misspelled "Corral."

And it's hilarious anyway.

A symphony in sign language, that I've got to see.

[MsPandaRosa]

I confess! this is hysterically funny!

These are all ways you can push commits to a git repo.

[elektrokuma]

i would much rather listen to tschaikovskys 5th in sign language.

[MsPandaRosa]

Apologies to all American Indians out there, but I seriously doubt smoke signals are going to majorly catch on as a way of telling a story.

[DPUO]

Is it just me, or is the music actually rather good?
