Heh, my original post had one buried in it too.  But again, it'd be hard
for it to be a word of any meaning.  Send the text above to 100 non-IT
people and you'd be lucky to get more than 5 that know what you're
saying.  I'm still not sure what 31173 is. ;-)

To be honest, it'd be nearly impossible to fill his needs if you're
gonna expect people to know pr0813m as a word when you send it as a
password (although I have a rule of no passwd's less than 8 char).
