[EFF-Bienfait, Saskatchewan] September 11, 1997 RAY ARACHELIAN, a member of the soon-to-be-outlawed CypherPunks crypto-military organization was presented with a forged Nobel Peace Prize early this morning in recognition of providing proof for his long held Kaos=Keraunos=Kybernetos theorem. In response to a question by Russian double-secret agent Igor Chudov, who asked, "How do you generate 'chaos'?," Arachelian responded: "If you're the FBI, you simply say you're gonna push laws to ban all non-escrowed crypto, and that causes imemdiate chaos on the cypherpunks lists. You then get a bunch of SHA1 digests of the messages and you've got plenty of random numbers. :-)" EFF decided to award Arachelian a forged Nobel Peace Prize, not for the originality of his idea, but for the fact that he had the audacity to steal the idea from fellow CypherPunk, Tim C. May, who would have suggested it in the 1989 CypherPunks archives, if the legendary mailing list had been operational at that time. The award was presented by a rather disheveled looking fellow who couldn't remember his name, but who told Arachelian, "I'm a very important man." before pausing to pick something out of his teeth, and continuing, with two raised fingers, "Peace." Asked for comment, Arachelian stated "I thought he'd never leave. Did you get a load of his _breath_? Whooeee!" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
