I'm not overweight either (had never been), I weigh 75kg, at 1.78cm tall. So that's pretty ok.

Submission + - Facebook and PGP (sans.org) 1
An anonymous reader writes: SANS Internet storm center writes: "Facebook has taken a step in the right direction by adding the ability to add a link to your public PGP key. It also allows you to see which of your friends have keys. Hopefully it will also spread the word about PGP and allow for a more secure/safer social networking site. Granted, with PGP, there is a level of trust needed. However, it is still a step in the right direction and affords the benefit of no need to go searching public key servers looking for the key you need."
