When I was a kid, I'd load executables into a text editor or hex editor to see what was inside.

So did I. I got stuck on a text adventure that came on a magazine's cover disk so I cracked open the executable to see what verbs I could use.

It had lots of swear words it could detect (which I recognized) including "c--t" (which I didn't recognize). In a matter of fact way I asked my parents, "What does c--t mean?" I seem to recall the magazine sending us a free copy of Wing Commander shortly thereafter ;-)
