Why did the management guy who decided to get back to engineering top his lab classes, with all experimental results? He gave value-added solutions :P

This one is NFSW, so I'm writing it in rot13. If you're offended easily, ignore the rest.

haha, such absolute rot.
We prefer rot26, though.

seriously. if it is nsfw, it is good enough for folks who get offended
easily to not read it. for the rest of us, do we need to google for a
rot13 translator or write one to be wowed by your greatness?

demands it in rot26 and to hell with those offended easily.

@all- just putting nsfw might not be efficient, yes, because of these
things called extended vision, and a bad case of curiosity. And rot13
sites though easy to find, is still two clicks away.
From what i gather, seeing bawdy stuff here is very off-putting for
clean-punsters, and demotivates them from contributing. Very valid.
I wish we could fork off a branch on this group for
such ones. hehe

i'm sorry, but i can't support your stance there. this googlegroup can
easily morph into a locker room that way and no one will even notice.
i don't think a good percentage of us want that?
all of us are adults here, yes, but it's not about protecting
innocence or avoiding being offensive to people. it's about having
such an environment where everyone feels like commenting,
contributing. and for the same reason, i won't stand for trolling,
flamewars and name-calling.

and in my personal opinion, it isn't really great humour if a good
percentage of the audience don't get it or dont like it or are
offended by it. you wouldn't be making a joke about a funeral at a
birthday party, would you? or crack programming language jokes at a
lawyers' convention?

censoring isn't the sort of thing to impose on a group committed to
humour. i leave it to each individual to use their discretion, to
self-censor if they see the need for it - it is not written in stone
about what jokes are offensive, or to use rot13, or RSA, or whatever.
All I'm asking for is to keep in mind the sort of environment we want
- threads which anyone can join, no one feels embarrassed to reply to,
and most of all, laugh about.
that shouldn't be too hard, considering we are all mature adults?

and mohan, what hell hast thou rot! On Friday the Thirteenth, at that.

There was once an active community of people pleasured by vegetarian wordplay. But one day, a piece of chicken in their gobi manchurian caused great turmoil. After a particularly disturbing double-incidence of Googlaucoma and abysmal standards of greatness, a polemic poke-happy reporter, who neither understood the idea of taking offense at obscenity nor was overwhelmed by the idea of using childish ciphers to mildly shield it, wrote an article. It covered the controversy, and wondered if there truly was a question, or if the ceremony around it was meaningless. He also went on to goad people not to acquiesce to banal customs - noting anyone could choose to be shielded instead of defeated - and exhorted them to spice it up a bit. His publisher was trying out a new twitter strategy for his news company, and tweeted this summary:

ROT wrought rot; 'Art Right?', or trite rite? Rout rote rut! Treat retreat route ratty! Root out tot-rate tort, write tart!

And an overenthu follower got excited, and tweeted:

rot13 is rather good. some other childish ways of encryption are rather rot10.

sieze-her, i say. How dare you mock ancient codes?

And a mandatory one. Block me, if it's really bad,
When decipherers die, are they encrypted?
