Hex:
DEAD = 57005 (plug it into a scientific calculator and you will see)Plus you (one more) = 57006.
"...if only you and "57005" people can read hex...." See the answer on the back of the shirt. I like it. Nice play on words.

oh, thx mp. All along I thought 57006 was supposed to be a HEX number, and was confused because there were an odd # of didgits.
