[ale] OT: Security code on Credit/Debit cards

[Jim Kinney]

The year is 2215.
The Global Health Research Institute has just issued the definitive paper
that shows a causal link between physically handling the plastic found in
credit cards of the late 20th and early 21st centuries to be the source of
the decline of higher brain functions in Northern Hemisphere genetics. The
BPPH plasticizer has been directly implicated in blocking the rational
thought centers of the adult brain and redirecting impulse centers to the

decline in brain function has been tracked down through 3 generations and is
now directly responsible for the ongoing food riots in much of the former
North American regions...
