I didn't know it was irreversible...

True story.

I download the ROT13 extension for BBEdit (A Macintosh text editing program)
from an FTP site.  The idea is simple.  I install the extension, select a
section of text, and with a simple command it executes the ROT13 algorithm
on the text.  Except that I got a dialog box saying:

"ROT13 is not undoable!  Do you still wish to proceed?(Yes)(No)"

Just imagine, I could have ROT13-ed my entire file and not be able to get the
original back!!  Boy am I happy my computer is smart enough to warn me...
