My theory for a secure password is to randomly pick a word and attach
a number to it.  Grab any book, magazine, or dictionary.  Open a page
at random, close your eyes, and point.  That word, plus the page
number, is your new password.

Secure?  Probably just as good as a randomly generated license-plate
number, and a lot easier to remember.
