Scratch
Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.
Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.
On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.
French Female Cryptographers
With the imminent release of The Da Vinci Code, The Sunday Times published an article detailign thirteen facts you may not know about the movie.
Perhaps one of the quirkier facts included, is the press release by the Alliance of French Female Cryptographers:
...which is concerned about the stereotyping Tautou's portrayal of Sophie Neveu, the seductive cryptographer heroine, might promote. 'What's important is that people realise not all female cryptographers are enchanting, or even sexy,' it says. 'Some of us are thoroughly plain, bordering on dowdy, and couldn't smile in a cutesy, pixie-ish manner if we tried.'
At least it means some of them are though. Right?
