Woman Gives Birth to Three Plates

Just saw this email in the "funsec" mailing list:

Hello,

My name is Mrs Yetunde Owolabi from Republic of Benin, I gave birth to three plates, 3 children at a time after the death my husband on 18th of June 2011 by auto car
accident. Already we have received 5 children from God, right now I can't take care of them so I have decided to give them out for adoption, if you are interested let me know, I am not selling them but you will only pay for adoption fees to the ministry in concern and the Lawyer will legalized all the relevant documents and the baby will become legally yours.

Thanks,

Mrs. Yetunde Owolabi

You read that right.  She gave birth to 3 plates.

I really wish I had her email address, as I would be very impressed if she could provide some pictures of these plates.

A little note on Password Strength

I've always wondered why organizations encourage such strict, hard to remember, password combinations, ultimately resulting in the user being forced to write down the password, making the password less secure.

xkcd, a web comic, defines the problem perfectly...xkcd: Password Strength
