Has anybody made a gallery of real implementations of Randall Munroe's hilarious ideas yet? I recall at least three exhibitions: this, M-x butterfly, and Hell Tetris; there are probably many others.

I'm waiting for 1Password to implement 936. http://xkcd.com/936/

It's not that I don't trust 1Passwords generation algorithm, but when I'm on a borrowed PC (wife's laptop, inlaws desktop or even at work where I can't install 1P) this would help. It's much easier to open 1P on my iPhone, look up a password and type in "correct horse battery staple" than to constantly have to refer back to my phone.

I actually changed my way to pick password thanks to that comic. There are longer and usually with the same entropy, but so much easier to remember!

I just wish my password manager would do that automatically. I know there are terminal scripts and apps that will do it. I'd just like it to be integrated.

Dropbox did implement this one in their password strength meter; try typing any of the passwords from the xkcd strip :).
