My favorite may be Bruce Schneier once decrypted a box of AlphaBits.



So what did it say in clear?



And Schneier's book, _Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a
Networked World_ is well worth the twelve bucks (US) it costs at
Amazon.  It would be worth it at several multiples of that price.

And before this thread veers even further off it's original course,
can I ask one question?  Did anyone else see the subject heading and
think it might be about either a Hugo-winning episode of Babylon 5 or
maybe one of the Harry Potter books?



No, but then I've been paying attention . . . :P

Rob, I clearly owe you a beer for sharing this with me.  I would 
never have realized the Portal gun was shooting space-bending vaginas
without it, nor would I have ever caught the feminist undertone in 
the game!  It's all so clear to me now!

Of course, I might never have seen Chell performing oral sex on 
herself either, and that I probably could have done without.  0_o

I've spent a good number of hours exploring Encyclopedia Dramatica, 
much of it LMAO. A good bit of it is just dumb or profane, but there 
are a few jewels in there.
