    It would make a wonderful compression algorithm, imagine ;-)

    my $md5 = md5($complete_works_of_shakespere); # compress to 128 bits my $plays = reverse_md5($md5); # inflate 128 bits into +~ 1 M bit. print $plays; # torture new generation + of english students

    It is along the lines of loaves and fishes to strech those bits so far....

    cheers
