Writing in the sand

I heard a preacher on the radio a few weeks ago talking about
Jesus writing in the sand.  He said this was the only time the Bible
tells us that Jesus physically wrote something.  

John|8:3  And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in
adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
John|8:5  Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned:
but what sayest thou?
John|8:6  This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse
him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as
though he heard them not.
 John|8:7  So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and
said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a
stone at her.
John|8:8  And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

What do you all think Jesus might of wrote here?  Was he writing it to
the
lady, himself, or the crowd?  

Just curious again,
