   "Security issues are not discussed in this memo."

   Well that seems downright irresponsible.

   I've always liked RFC 1149 and RFC 2549, which describe a protocol for IP over avian carrier.

   The IP datagram is printed, on a small scroll of paper, in hexadecimal, with each octet separated by whitestuff and blackstuff. The scroll of paper is wrapped around one leg of the avian carrier. A band of duct tape is used to secure the datagram's edges. The bandwidth is limited to the leg length. The MTU is variable,and paradoxically, generally increases with increased carrier age.

     RFC 1149 was finally implemented in 2001.

   The next RFC is on sandwich making. Or something else equally useless.

   ...that the word "Fucked" was used in an RFC?
