Funk Babblings

Sometimes schneier reads more like an absurdist-humor blog than a security-issues blog. Today he linked to the tragic tale of an artist unable to ship his empty (but labeled) containers.

The labels on the empty containers include one for rocket fuel ("type: infinite improbability"), as well as some for nitrogen ("78.084% pure") and neon ("0.0018% pure"). The idea of shipping this sort of hazardous material frightened the FedEx courier.

There may be some hope for the courier, however. Philosophically, if not intellectually. He said the bottle of "certainty" just sounded too suspicious.
