    Why do they call it Ovaltine? The mug is round. The jar is round. They should call it Roundtine.

    (sorry, obligatory)

    haven't you heard? After looking at thousands of perl scripts, it became clear that it's the best way of making something unreadable, so openssl "encrypts" via making obfuscated perl (redundant, I know - as if there's any other kind!). decrypting just needs a key, a perl interpreter, and blood. Of goats. Lots of them.
