Bruce Schneier Facts

“When Bruce Schneier uses double ROT13 encryption, the ciphertext is totally unbreakable.” –Bruce Schneier Facts

Sorry that most of you will not understand this page (quite a few of these go over my head as well). For those of you that do? It’s either a comedy gold mine, or just as annoying as the Chuck Norris Facts.

    Woot. Glad you liked it. There are only 2 other readers that I know of who would be amused by it.

    The Bruce Schneier Facts page has been all of funny, educational and humbling. I didn’t remember what reducing a matrix meant. How embarrassing.

    Chuck Norris facts annoying? I dunno, I liked 1,5,7, and 8 and particularly enjoyed most of Chuck’s own favorites. But I am too easily amused sometimes.

    Some are funny… but they’re not as good as the Chuck Norris facts.

    The Chuck Norris facts made a lot more sense then the Bruce Schneier facts. His page was all geek to me.

    @l3rucewayne: I like the Chuck Norris facts, too. But there are people who are burned out on them b/c of overexposure and are annoyed by them. (See also, World of Warcraft trade chat.)

    @Annie: On his site, he’s actually anal about them being used elsewhere.

    @Allen: Part of it is the Chuck Norris facts do have a contributor size advantage. The guy on the street knows Chuck Norris. The Goldbach Conjecture, not so much.

    @Polly: Bruce Schneier can decrypt the Bruce Schneier Facts so that you can understand them.
