    The grains used to make the wort can be reused though. It is called party-gyle brewing. Your first run will be much stronger, and each subsequent batch will get weaker.

    You don't buy tinfoil hats, man. That's how they get you.

    Bipeds tire easier? About the only physical advantage humans have in relation to most animals is that we can chase them to exhaustion after days of pursuit, if necessary.

    I borrowed Banjo-Kazooie from one of my cousins many years ago. While giving it back to her, we had a snowball fight and it fell out into the snow somewhere.

    Next spring, we found it on the lawn and dried it out. The damn thing still worked fine. A year or so after that, they had brought it on vacation. Their houseboat *burned down then sank*. They recovered it.

    To this day the game works fine.

    What if the key itself is incriminating? Supposing his passphrase was "I like to touch little boys", I think that would be just a tad condemning given the circumstances.

    Ahhh.... Hedy Fry. The same one who reported cross-burnings in Prince George? She'll listen.
