CC Random thread

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

So, who is the most successful spy of all times? Mata Hari? Assange? Lawrence of Arabia? Kim Philby?
Think again. I would suggest the Swedish entrepreneur Boris Hagelin.

He developed an encryption device that was sold to and used by at least 120 countries. Meanwhile, the company he founded, Crypto AG, based in Switzerland, secretly had the NSA as their main owner, and they ensured that the devices had a built in feature that copied everything sent through these machines and forwarded it to them... :shock:

So throughout the cold war, the NSA had access to all encrypted messages sent by some 120 countries, including Iran, Libya and many others. China and the Soviet Union never used the machines, as they were suspicious of the ties to the USA - Hagelin had helped build coding machines for the US forces during WW2 - but many of their allies used them. :drink:

Btw, no idea if there is any connection to Carl Hagelin, but considering that he also is employed by Washington....... :hmmm:

The latest from an Australian news station. This is pretty clever. They had a Mandarin speaking reporter post as a Chinese official and call one of the Wuhan funeral homes where a crematorium is located, warning them to expect an increase in bodies. The details the funeral home worker reveals are disturbing.



Among the facts disclosed are that this crematorium processed 127 cremations in one day recently (there are 7 crematoriums in Wuhan). If you estimate 100 bodies per crematorium per day, that's 700 per day since sometime in January! WHO is only reporting 1117 deaths to date!

Also, 38% of the bodies were from hospitals and only 6% of the bodies are officially due to coronavirus (the Chinese are excluding from their official counts anyone who dies but has not been diagnosed with coronavirus).

This means the actual count is likely to be almost 16x higher than the official number, which currently sits at 1117.

I'll organize a good old Douk house burning. That should keep your hands occupied for a while.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

I have absolutely no idea how every single last one of you living in this clusterfuck of a city dont pack you shit and move somewhere that isnt this rediculously overcrowded. I would smoke an Oh-Zee every single day just to exist in this mess.

Snap out of it!
