Bruce Schneier Facts T-Shirts

I like this one:
Every time Bruce Schneier smiles, an amateur cryptographer dies. I don’t understand it, but I like it. Judging by the picture on the newest book, all of them amateurs are still alive.

@Bruce, the picture on the book looks better than the one on your blog.

@ Wael,

Every time I look at it I get the uneasy feeling it’s been “photoshoped” because Bruce’s head looks to small in comparison to the shoulder width…

I think it’s a combination of the old meme, as well as the well known fact that most amature cryptographers make weak ciphers, which Bruce can break without blinking an eye (as opposed to strong ciphers made by good cryptographers, which Bruce can break with a blink of the eye).

This all brings up the centuries old question: Can Bruce make a cipher so strong that even he himself cannot break it?

Pretty funny!

@ Anura,
Thanks!

@Anura: According to Fact #13, no.

Right! I see that too, now that you’ve mentioned it! Maybe that explains Bruce’s saying: “I’m also happy with the cover” 🙂

I always liked: Bruce Schneier can cross each of the 7 bridges of Konigsberg only once, and end back up where he started.

Just great. Now, every time I see the Dos Equis beer commercial man on the tele (“The World’s Most Interesting Man”), I’m going to think it’s Bruce.

But don’t wear it to to the airport if you’re flying.

Schneier facts never get old lol. This pic was missing though.

Cool. I just bought two of the Schneier facts and the “In Math we Trust” on. I bought some stuff from that 0-Day apparel shop a few months ago and I love it. They have pretty cool stuff in the Computing section.

You know you’ve arrived when… Congrats!

@Anura & @Chelloveck
Because of #13 the answer is in #22 😉

@bryan
Because only Bruce can break a quantum cryptosystem.

And me who thought he was the most interesting crypto-man in the world (beard included) … 🙂

Ha,

For those of you still pondering which to order, you may consider also also a security solution from PEANUTS! 🙂
