This is a ridiculous statement, and even worse, leaks information about

Yes. Did you know that your teeth enamel contain isotope ratios that encode regions where you might have grown up around age 6? Ask Otzi.
You are thinking of Joe "Whistler" Joe Egressia (sp?), and the kid form
New York whose names escape me at the moment. These two do not even com close to "the original phone phreaks were blind". More like "at least two of the original batch of phreaks were blind".
Ok, so this was book reading. Sosume. I once worked for a guy who hired Capt'n Crunch, *briefly*. [This is reference to a digression later in the thread. His dentition was not discussed.] ------ WE are all just voices in Tim May's head.

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)).

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 :-(
