    If Mr Nandor joins force with this lecturer, we will have karateoke in chemistry classes.

    This might be spammers' wet dream, like Carbon Iodine Aluminium Iodine Sulfur or Vanadium Iodine Silver Radium.

      No dude. It can't be more than 10 lines.

      Hell, DeCSS was only 7 lines.

  11. Don't tell the NSA about this... by zymurgy_cat · · Score: 3, Funny

    You just *know* that someone will claim that people are sending coded messages (for WMDs, no doubt) through regular emails or phone conversations:

    Analyst: "Sir! We just analyzed that last phone call from Mike in Idaho to his mother, the missionary feeding poor children in Afghanistan. If we use the new chemical-word-filter, he's clearly providing instructions on building some type of chemical weapon, one based on vinegar and what looks to be corn syrup...or maybe pecans."
    NSA supervisor: "We can't afford another 9/11. Engage the standard rendition plan and have them relocated."
    Analyst: But sir! Shouldn't we get a warrant or find some corroborating evidence?
    Supervisor gives a glaring, angry look.
    Analyst: Just kidding! ahahah...man, that gets you every time!
    Supervisor: Good one! I guess the beer's on me tonight.

    Patriotic music plays as supervisor slaps analyst on the shoulder and both freeze in place with big smiles.
