TIPATEOGATP
Groups of vicious killers tend to be good at two things: (1) being vicious killers, and (2) being unintentionally funny. For instance, a captured American soldier has been murdered in Iraq, and the group claiming responsibility calls itself "The Implacable Power Against the Enemy of God and the Prophet." I like to believe that in internal deliberations, in order to save time, they refer to themselves as TIPATEOGATP.
Please: do not try to placate TIPATEOGATP. They cannot be placated. They are implacable. What you can do, however, is use their acronym as an excellent password for your ATM card.
