Alternatively, if we assume that none of the words are repeated (let's 
face it, humans aren't that random), the number of combinations falls to 
"only" 4,092,928,703,952,000. That makes the cracking attempt several 
months faster. But, given that we're talking about something that takes 
over a /century/, a few months is nothing.
