Fact of the Day.

Here are the Ten Most Common Passwords:

10) (First Name)
9) blink182
8) password1
7) myspace1
6) monkey
5) letmein
4) abc123
3) qwerty
2) 123456
1) password

The appearance of "monkey" as the 6th most common password fills my heart with joy. The appearance of "blink182" as the 9th most common password fills my heart with such confusion that the beams of joy radiating from the "monkey" are all but smothered to death.

Another irresistibly delectable moment of education, as offered by yours truly.

password1 fills my heart with fear - that was my password on a major poker website. I should probably keep that anonymous. You know who I am.

A password I used to use when I was required to have a capital letter, a lowercase letter, a number, and a symbol was Omgwtfbbq!1

It was awesome and easy to remember

Blink182 is a common password? Dammit. Its just all the small things I guess.

On our previous text message question, your readership may be able to provide some insight.

We all know that ginger kids are the redheaded kids with massive amounts of freckles who are unable to go outside.

Redheaded kids without freckles who can go outside are "daywaylkers".

But what about brunettes with tons of unattractive freckles. Don't they deserve a name?

P.S. About 65% of my financial accounting class are F.O.B. Teach me some asian slang!

Hsien: HAHAHAHAHA. I think Omgwtfbbq!1 is the best password I have ever seen.

The only person isn't leaving a signature, so I imagine it's the same "awesome" person: "Wo Shi Tong Shing Lyen."

RS: Readership? Flattering, but...no. Why are you asking? What on earth is making you so persistent about this?

I must know because all questions have answers.
