Explanation: "ROT-13" means changing letters by 13 places so that A becomes M, B becomes N....Z becomes A. The advantage of choosing 13 is that Ro13 of Rot13 of a text brings you back to the original, rather than having a separate encode and decode. This code is "just secret enough" that the text is unreadable if you don't choose to look at it. It is used to hide such things as: *** punchline at the end of a joke *** sexually explicit material *** "spoilers" that give away the end of a book or movie, so the reader doesn't have to look if they aren't ready to. -- Dave[XEMU] ________________(....=^��^=______ ---<,,">
