Memorable 32-bit value as a constant

Question

I am looking for a memorable 32-bit value to be used as a constant. If possible, it should be somewhat funny too.

So far, I have come up with these two:

<         


        

Answer 1

0x0BE5EBEE 0xADEAD60D

Answer 2

I wonder, that as a programmer you need to ask. After all it takes a word-list and a one-liner of C++ to find suitable words.

#include <iterator>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/lambda/lambda.hpp>
#include <boost/lambda/bind.hpp>

int main()
{
    using namespace boost::lambda;
    std::remove_copy_if(
        std::istream_iterator<std::string>(std::cin),
        std::istream_iterator<std::string>(),
        std::ostream_iterator<std::string>(std::cout, " "),
        bind(&std::string::size, _1) != 8u
            ||
        bind(
            static_cast<std::string::size_type (std::string::*)(const char*, std::string::size_type) const>(
                &std::string::find_first_not_of
            ),
            _1,
            "abcdefgiost",
            0u
        ) != std::string::npos
    );
}

Here are a bunch of hex words that you can use to make a constant.

A snippet of some of the words:

ba5eba11
bedabb1e
be5077ed
b0a710ad
b01dface
cab005e
ca11ab1e
ca55e77e
deadbea7
defec8
f01dab1e
f005ba11
0ddba11
5ca1ab1e
