Certainly you’ve all seen Chuck Norris Facts.

And some of you who may be on Stackoverflow have seen Jon Skeet Facts.

But have you seen Bruce Schneier Facts?

“The nuclear launch codes held by the President of the United States are secured by an unbreakable system: a plain brown envelope with a picture of Bruce Schneier on the flap.” “Bruce Schneier doesn’t have a chin under his beard – just more ciphertext.” “Bruce Schneier once broke AES using nothing but six feet of rusty barbed wire, a toothpick, and the front axle from a 1962 Ford Falcon.”

Ahh, the joys of memes.
