I'm reminded of <i>"Barbiephonic (redux)"</i>[0], although it's only related in the sense that through this story I found yet another story involving Barbie and crypto[1].<p>> <i>And the other thing lying around on those open shares were recordings of names. To reach a wide audience they’d recorded some unstoppably perky young woman reciting kids’ first names, Aaron, Abbot, Abby, Abigail, Adana, Adena, in an upbeat barbie-girl voice, every single one. And there I was with a pile of free disk space, university bandwidth, wget and why not.</i><p>> <i>There were seventeen thousand of them.</i><p>> <i>After a bit of experimentation, I figured out how to stitch them all together with .4 seconds of silence between each. The resulting audio file was almost five hours long; four hours and forty five minutes of relentless Barbiedoll voice reciting seventeen thousand first names in alphabetical order.</i><p>> <i>To my knowledge, nobody has ever listened to the whole thing.</i><p>> <i>Of the six attempts I’m aware of, four were called off when the death threats started, one due to the near-breakup of the couple making the attempt, and one person drinking themselves to unconsciousness at about the 90 minute mark. I’m not saying that to make a joke. I’m telling you because this is real and it’s an SCP-grade psychic biohazard. No highly esteemed deed was committed here; this is not a place of honour.</i><p>The "SCP-grade psychic biohazard" is not that much of an exaggeration, by the way.<p>[0] <a href="http://exple.tive.org/blarg/2015/12/05/barbiephonic-redux/" rel="nofollow">http://exple.tive.org/blarg/2015/12/05/barbiephonic-redux/</a><p>[1] <a href="https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/12/internet-connected-hello-barbie-doll-gets-bitten-by-nasty-poodle-crypto-bug/" rel="nofollow">https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/12/inter...</a>
