Good morning, Mr. Phelps. Your mission, should you decide
to accept it, is to write a workable exploit to TeX that
will start infecting millions of PCs within an hour of its
introduction into the Internet. As you probably already
know, TeX is a popular typesetting program used to create
beautiful text for such things as math textbooks, and was
invented/developed by Dr. Knuth. [*]
To assist you, we've given you access to the best and
brightest of NSA computers and a team headed by the noted
scientist Ima Kidder, noted cryptologist. Ms Kidder will
be more than happy to assist you after her recent divorce
from Yuri Gist (middle name Ollie), but be careful not to
get overly distracted, even though she's highly attractive
and has lately taken to wearing very low-cut dresses in an
attempt to attract attention.
As always, should you be caught, the State Department
will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This post
will self destruct in 5 seconds.
Good luck Jim.
