Ah, okay. Nice approach. Not a D&D player, so I'll stick with my
common words for now, until and unless I come up with something
Polly-like.

I just tried to change my Linux password using the output from my
little XKCD 936 script. The response? "it is too
simplistic/systematic". :-( My next attempt succeeded though, so
perhaps it had something to do with the length of a couple of the
words in "norm tops owning posted".
