When I first read the subject, i read

        "Internet Composting"

years ago, back when people punched cards to program,
one duty of Computer Center Student Assistants was to empty
the "chaff bins" on all the keypunches. invariably, some
freshman would inquire, with all the earnestness he
could muster, "What happens to all the little numbers?"

"Oh, we send the chaff and the used punch cards over
to the State Prison where the inmates recycle the cards
by gluing the right numbers back in the little holes."

what happened next was a good predictor of whether
said freshman had a future in data processing.
