James,

This is complete nonsense.  So I challenge you to create a text file
or document that matches this checksum using md5:

  cc07388b323368808343a852538aea42

You obviously  don't  realize what cryptographically  secure checksums
are all about.   THE WHOLE POINT  is that you are  not supposed to  be
able  to  create   a document  that   matches this  checksum,  even  a
completely nonsense document.

If  you somehow  manage  to actual do  this,  then you will  be richly
rewarded with fame (and possibly fortune) in the science community.

I don't  make bets  because I  consider  it a  type  of greed, but  in
principle I  could make a  whopper of one here, and  my money would be
extremely safe.
