    While i agree in principle, this could confuse tourists even more. They'd probably show up in December and try to use small surfboards to go down snowy mountains... oh wait.

    perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'
