Did you know that your teeth enamel contain isotope ratios that encode regions where you might have grown up around age 6?
Yes. I am also aware that tooth enamel has the interesting property of trapping a fantastic number of parmaceuticals. The teeth can be used to lay out a life history of drug [ab]use, from simple tetracycline use as a kid through to the occasional lines as an adult. AFAIK, the tests now available are simply qualitative, and without accurate date-stamping, but I am no expert in this area (so if it's important to you, seek Knowledgeable Assistance (tm)).
I once worked for a guy who hired Capt'n Crunch, *briefly*.
Yeah. Most people find John a bit difficult to stomach for long. While I won't go into my personal interactions with him here, it is worth noting that I take pains to point out that John is *not* representative of the "average" phreak when I teach classes touching on that area. Remember: John spent a great deal of time bemoaning the fact that "secrets" was published, and that it was "going to end phreaking", yet *he* was the one who spent all the time talking to the goddamned reporter! John is not, IMNSHO, well pasted together. Besides, he has the most disturbing physical motions I have ever seen in another human being. The way he moves his body tells you there is something wrong - you don't even need to talk to him before the hairs on the back of your neck start screaming for cover :-(
