From: Jesper Angelo on 19 Apr 2010 02:05 Off-topic, but it's too fun to not share... I'm trying to explain who Alice, Bob and Charlie is (you know, basic RSA and PubPriv key encryption) to my wife and daughter. After a really good explanation (I think, of course) - my daughter concludes: "So You're Alice in Wonderland trying to send a message to Bob the Builder and Charlie the Unicorn is trying to listen in..." Ok...
