There are dreamtime stories about Atlantis but in keeping with Australian naming conventions they call it Kookanuggiebiddlybong and because Australians get everything upside down its tells the story of a city rising from the depths and making a sea disappear.
why the castaways of Gilligan's Island used Thurston Howell III's 'worthless paper' instead of gold or seashells.
Toilet paper! Ever tried to wipe your butt with
gold or seashells?
Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here!

I always considered The Big
Lebowski to be the ultimate slacker manifesto.
After I had a panic attack at work (there was a
lot of stress), I decided to become more like the
dude, and less like Walter. They don't pay me enough
to suffer from a heart attack at age 35.
Unfortunately, the eugenics movement and the
nazis have given any attempt at human enhacement a
bad name. Researchers don't like to be
associated those guys.
Two people wishing to exchange a secret message would need to set up a source of genuinely random numbers that broadcasts these numbers to both of them, and that produces so many random numbers that no eavesdropper could possibly record everything it broadcasts for whatever interval of time it takes to set up a message.
This sounds like yet another one-time pad scheme. One-time pads are provably unbreakable, but the problem is the key distribution
and storage. The article continues:
The first step in sending a message would be for the sender to notify the receiver to start listening for random numbers at a certain time, or both parties might be continuously listening, so that the numbers to be used might be collected over days or weeks instead of minutes. Both parties would, according to a prearranged system governed by a key, listen for, and record, a minute subset of the broadcast random numbers, small enough that it could be recorded
easily.
There's your weakness: there is a prearranged system governed by a key to record the one-time pad. How will you communicate that key? An eavesdropper could record that key.
And also, it could take days or even weeks to generate one single one-time pad. So it's not very practical. Remember, you cannot reuse a one-time pad. Reusing it makes it vulnerable to attacks.

That's not Atlantis, that's R'lyeh.

So did I. Then I started to hate it, because it messes with my sense of perspective.

I want one of those Kraftwerk bodysuits. And a LED-tie.

I do!!!
