Math formula that when graphed, produces an image of the formula itself

Tupper's self-referential formula is a self-referential formula defined by Jeff Tupper that, when graphed in two dimensions, can visually reproduce the formula itself. It is used in various math and computer science courses as an exercise in graphing formulae.
The formula was first published in his 2001 SIGGRAPH paper that discusses methods related to the GrafEq formula-graphing program he developed.
The formula is an inequality defined by:
{1\over 2} < \left\lfloor \mathrm{mod}\left(\left\lfloor {y \over 17} \right\rfloor 2^{-17 \lfloor x \rfloor - \mathrm{mod}(\lfloor y\rfloor, 17)},2\right)\right\rfloor 
If one graphs the set of points (x,y-k) with 0 \le x \le 106 and k \le y \le k + 17 such that they satisfy the inequality given above, the resulting graph looks like this:

This formula itself is a general purpose method of decoding a bitmap stored in the constant k, so it could actually be used to draw any other image. When applied to the unbounded positive range 0 \le y, the formula tiles a vertical swath of the plane with a pattern that contains all possible 17 pixel tall bitmaps. (from: wikipedia)

North Korea is Best Korea

North Korea to send people to labor camp for not mourning enough
Even emotions are heavily regulated in the Stalinist hermit kingdom of North Korea: everybody must love the leader, and when he passes away citizens must cry hard. As hard as possible. 
The regime will punish also those who did participate but did not cry enough or did not seem genuine, along with those accused of criticizing the country’s new leader Kim Jong-un, reported South Korea’s online newspaper Daily NK.

Youtube video where the like and dislike bar is equal



No hard feelings one way or the other, youtube video where the like and dislike bar is equal

I recently converted to Christianity, but I really need some help?

1.) Leviticus 25:44 states that I may posses slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claimed that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

2.) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

3.) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of Menstrual uncleanliness - Leviticus 15:19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

4.) When I burn a bull on the altar as sacrifice, I know it created a pleasing odor for the Lord - Leviticus 1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

5.) (Last Question) My uncle has a farm. He violates Leviticus 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (Cotton/Polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Leviticus 24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Leviticus 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I'm confident you can help. Thank you for your time and thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging!
