I get a similar feeling when looking at some art, so I guess these could be art, then again, perhaps not.

This magritte "pipe" image, for instance. Without a basic knowledge of HTML and at least a little bit of art education, you just won't get it. I felt real smart when I got the pipe joke, but I don't get a lot of these. There's some other stuff I kind of get, like the smiley face thing, and the lol cats mona lisa, but many of them----I'm at a loss. They're pretty geektastic. More HTML references, some videogame stuff, a Second Life joke. Some of it's pretty clever, some of it is beyond me.
