Ceci n'est pas une pipe. Reasonable people are sophisticated enough to understand that there is a difference between using a sentence as a password, and believing that sentence to be true.

On a related note, I once looked into changing my middle name to an executable implementation of RSA, so that my passport would be a non-exportable munition. (No go.)




What was their reason for declining the name change?


I would guess that it would be too long if written out in English, and that they'd probably deny a name change to a name that contains characters not normally used in names (asterisks, semicolons, underscores...)
