Neither do I. Connie's right, guys. How can saying that you like women whose best skills are oral sex and who are so klutzy that they kill people accidently do anything to promote civil rights through cryptography? At the least, please be a little more clear with your sarcasm; otherwise, you're just re-inforcing the "harmless guy-stuff" that leads directly to rape and wife-battering. Drunk driving used to be given a wink and a nod, and now drunk drivers rate somewhere near lawyers. Let's do the same for women, and promote cryptography at the same time by getting back on topic.
