Muffins and coffee seem okay - I assume you put them in there just to have variety. Years ago, before we had to include letters, numbers, capitals, lower-case, greek letters and wingdings in our passwords and change them every day, I used "pancakes", "waffles" and "sausage". I like breakfast, what can I say. But those are not on the list, so nasty hackers would need extra time to get in my computer.
I noticed that, on the list "magic" at 272 is right before "lakers" at 273. Too bad "johnson" is up the list at 252.
I also noted that "Michael" is the person most likely too dumb or too self-absorbed to think of a better pasword than his own name.

No. Not without permission, not without consent. And having had worked as a computer tech for a time, not without compensation.

I tend to make the mistake of incorporating my girlfriend's name /nickname into my password.
After one bad break up, I had to be reminded of that cheating whore every time I used the ATM machine.

I would've expected Joshua to be higher.

mypalmike - my ATM is the same sort of deal. Pissed every time I go.

I'm sensing a meet-cute here...

Either a meet-cute, or they both used to date bigtits.
Or both, I suppose.
