Interesting, if not relevant, tangent: Modern LDS missionaries are expected to bathe daily, without fail, when they are abroad proselytizing. I have heard anecdotal accounts of this causing some friction with their hosts due to the custom

I like the idea, though I can't fathom how I'd actually use it in day-to-day life. Looks like an interesting mechanism for spam (much like URL shortening) and clandestine communications. My 2nd and 3rd "jots" (that's even catchier than "tw
