Yes it is. If it was named after dubya it would be funnier. Still the worst levels of the old testament, but funny, in an ironic, we are all doomed way.

When i was 14 i won a scholarship for school and was able to travel to Canberra and do some random crap.

Ontop of that we were able to put on a play for some high up generals and MP's.

I put in one joke that was basically "we have received intelligence from he USA... then someone intergects America has intelligence?"

Had the crowed in stitches.

It's fun to think you're political opposites are dumb. But in reality the dude did exactly what he and his squad wanted, changing the course of history for decades to come. Yes rove and Cheney did lots but ultimately they all played their role and achieved (terrible) greatness

Wired did a series of articles about this (before they turned into a shopping site) here is one from 2009. They're pretty fun to read, including how the NSA may have solved the first three before the CIA. I'm sure that went down well.

I just looked at their homepage for the first time in years. I only counted 8 'the best sex toys for every body' articles (that's an actual title). So, it seems they are better, not Chris Anderson better though.

Why are you lying? The closest thing to what you are talking about is an article called "What Should Your Sex Toys Be Made of?".

Then toward the bottom there is a buying guide, something people want to know: What products are worth buying.

But sure, paint them as some piece of shit doing nothing but hocking products.

The title on the homepage is 'The Best Sex Toys for Every Body' just like I said. Wired used to be much better.

It looks like they already have two plaintext samples, would they be able to try Vignere keys that result in both plain texts simultaneously? Every other panel was solved with Vignere
