Silverstone naming the Start/Finish straight as the "Hamilton Straight". I'm sure he's pretty chuffed, no driver (I think) has ever had that accolade in Silverstone naming any part of the circuit after anyone.

I mean I know it's not an everyday word, but equally it's hardly the most obscure. Especially given that cryptography has been fairly frequently in the news in recent years, thanks to cyber security, crypto currencies etc. It was as if he'd never encountered the word before. Most odd. |

Haha, it just reminded me of when my mate and I used to fuck around as kids, typing into the Amiga Voice/Speech OS. Which would usually translate some words in odd ways. We were easily amused  |

Well, we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowin'
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out
