</div>A few years ago I played around with encoding arbitrary random<br>
bitstrings as pseudo-random words, phrases, and even poems. Here's an<br>
example of 128 bits encoded as a poem:<br>
<br>
your insect sings after our cloth<br>
my able brain rests by this sticky horse smoothly<br>
her bulb finds our hate tightly<br>
<br>
I've thrown the code up on GitHub just now:<br>
