Whenever you type that, all I see is "1-7-3-4-6-7-3-2-1-4-7-6-Charlie-3-2-7-8-9-7-7-7-6-4-3-Tango-7-3-2-Victor-7-3-1-1-7-8-8-8-7-3-2-4-7-6-7-8-9-7-6-4-3-7-6


I can't see this without claiming the nerd cred of being the first to identify it as the password Data uses to lock out the computer in the ST:TNG episode "Brothers".

For extra credit, I will point out (which you may not know EGreg?) that the password he speaks verbally, and the password that appears on the display visually, are NOT the same and differ by a few digits near the end, a small mistake in production.


The code that Data says: 173467321476C32789777643T732V73117888732476789764376

The code on the screen (in upper case letters) 17346721476C3278977763T732V731171888732476789764376
