as part of the ARG for portal 2, there is a mysterious screen held within the third promo video, advertising turrets. in that screen there are three sets of numbers.
72 101 114 101 39 115 32 68 97 32 66 101 101 110 115 44 32 68 111 117 103 116 97 116 111 58
89 111 117 32 102 111 117 110 100 32 109 97 110 121 46 70 105 110 100 32 116 104 101 32 114 101 115 116 46
77 105 75 97 88 115 85 115 32 70 84 87
I showed this code to a good friend of mine who then built a program for it, converting the integers into ascii
binary format (the same format used in the code hidden in the portal 2 comic reveling where rattmann got the phrase "the cake is a lie...") translated the code above reads out

hopefully this has not already been discovered. just doing my part to help solve the portal 2 mystery. if you want to try this yourself, you can download the program here http://www.sendspace.com/file/evxqbq
for those of you with the mind to use it, source code for the program
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim i As Integer
Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder
Dim stringnos() As String = Split(TextBox1.Text.Trim, " ")
Try
For i = 0 To stringnos.Length - 1
sb.Append(ChrW(CInt(stringnos(i))))
Next
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("Oops! " & stringnos(i) & " wasn't a character")
Exit Sub
End Try
TextBox2.Text = sb.ToString
End Sub
End Class
Edit: there is a second screen we missed in the same ad. this page has the code
