Neat! I vaguely remember a similar one posted to Usenet ages ago; ah,
those were the days.
It has about 42 bits of entropy, generating a nice
password that is
probably safe-for-work, unless you work in a very unusual place. A lot
of people use cuss words as passwords.
I read somewhere (Schneier?) that "shocking nonsense" makes for good
passphrases; easily remembered, and hard to guess. And yes, I know about
that XKCD cartoon...
