Scary Here

Something I read when I was about to enter into my wonder years stuck in my head. Actually, a lot of stuff happened during that transition to a teenager that still smiles gently on my mind. I read a paperback book from where I learned to solve simple ciphers such as that used in a popular puzzle called Cryptoquotes. To this day I can recite the letter frequency alphabet from memory - the most commonly used letter in the American English language to the least - and am pretty darn sure I am correct. Out of curiosity I decided to Google these letters to verify my accuracy. Found them... and just as I remember it: ETAONRISHDLFCMUGYPWBVKXJQZ.

Maybe these guys read the same book. Scary huh?

Oh, and while I was at it, I looked up the value of pi to confirm it was at least 3.14159265 (and yes, it is). And now I can recite it to 12 decimal places.

I live alone.
