How to crack someone’s computer password
Written by Mark Pack on 16th April 2008 – 5:26 pmA new survey claims:
Women are far more likely to give away their passwords to total strangers than their male counterparts, with 45% of women versus 10% of men prepared to give away their password,to strangers masquerading as market researches with the lure of a chocolate bar as an incentive for filling in the survey.
Hat-tip: Guido Fawkes
PS I wonder if Grant Shapps has a sweet tooth?

Grant Shapps is an 80s kid so I’m sure he remembers those 54321 bars.

We LibDems are doomed. We, as genuine Liberal Democrats, must accept this and support the Tories instead.

As I recall, the tagline was “Five treats in one bar”, based purely on the fact that the bar was composed of five squares of matter (I’m not sure what it was, but it had certainly never heard of a cocoa bean). We were easily pleased in the eighties weren’t we. Everyone now talks about it as the great age of wealth expansion but for most people it was just the seventies reworked in fuzzy felts, really.

Was I the only one whose mother bought the fake Gateway ones called 5ive bars?

Surely this only shows that women like chocolate more than men do - hardly a novel conclusion…

There is a fair bit of psychological research which shows women are more ‘agreeable’ than men. Less suspicious, more optimistic, more trusting.
So this isn’t really a surprise.

Chris, unless and until they have been in an abusive relationship, and then they swing AAAALLLLL the way to the other side of the spectrum.
Ah, gross generalisation, how I do love thee.
Still, it seems that being allergic to chocolate does have SOME benefits.

All this proves is that women are more prepared to lie for chocolate than men
