Because fans on the Internet can do pretty much anything, the writing on Poe Dameron's vest in Star Wars: The Force Awakens has been decoded.

The writing, seen above, was deciphered by a curious Tumblr user who goes by @youneedapilot -- and while it could be the secrets to the universe, the true identity of Rey or Aunt Beru's perfect barbecue recipe, it in fact is pretty (awesomely) mundane.

"Pull to inflate," it says, as you might find on the life vests in any commercial aircraft.

The writing was in Aurebesh, a common written language in the Star Wars universe, and only took this long to decode because it was upside down and angled in such a way that it could be read by, say, a pilot bailing out in distress.

Not that Poe would know anything about that.

Thanks to CinemaBlend for finding this gem.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens, directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan & Abrams, features a cast including actors John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong'o, Gwendoline Christie, Crystal Clarke, Pip Andersen, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow. They will join the original stars of the saga, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens hit theaters December 18, 2015, kicking off a new trilogy of Saga films as Episodes VIII and IX are already scheduled. The film garnered a record $248 million at the domestic box office and $529 million globally in its opening weekend.
