Only when programming Lisp.
I agree (not about the compilers, too naive), but after a couple of
projects in list (one using pre-written code) I've cought a glimps
of what can acheived with a well conceived language. (It's still a 
real -*ovgpu*- to read.)

All this talk of rot13 has made me curious, but now I can't for the life
of me remember where Netscape put the rot13 decode?  I know, I know, any
self respecting nerd should be able to decode it in his head, but it's
been a while.  Now where is that menu option? (UNIX version, of course.)

As far as I know there isn't one.
I installed the bsd-games package, and use the command line.

I knew it was in there somewhere, it just took me a while to find it.
Simply click somewhere in the message, and then right click on it. One
option is rot13 (un)scramble. You have to be viewing the message. The
reply window to a message won't allow you to scramble or unscramble,
only the view window. At least that works on the M$ version of netscape.
I think the same thing is available on the *ix versions as well.

If perl is installed the job is easily accomplished,

echo ovgpu | perl -pe 'tr#A-MN-Za-mn-z#N-ZA-Mn-za-m#'

Ah Ha!  Right click!  I knew it was there somewhere.  BTW, dwyer, that

Isn't this kind of the long way around?  Why don't you just use tr from
the shell.  Don't get me wrong, I love perl, but sometimes we forget to
appreciate good ol' shell commands. ;)

Good point.  If I were to really use this, it'd be put in a file.  I just
always find myself glad that I wrote easily done tasks in Perl, as later
changes are easy to implement.  say you wanted to forward a rot13 mail result
to 500 people but check to make sure the author isn't likely to rot naughty
words first.  ($author !~ /jconnor/ && &send)

Oh, c'mon!  Its a great joke!  <sigh>  Well, its a good joke around
people who get it, at least.  Its an excellent joke for gathering
blank stares in the /wrong/ social situations...  What is really
bad is when you have a partner in crime who will continue the joke:

"Yeah? Thats not secure enough.  I rot13 it sixteen times!"

I think that's what they were talking about on csu.general when they
mentioned geeking up the place tonight at the FAC.  BTW, who's going to
be there?
