"[I]Bruce Schneier once factored a prime number.[/I]"

This is in the same style as:

Bruce Schneier once factored a 2048-bit RSA number. By hand.

Bruce Schneier can mentally do quantum computations.

When Bruce Schneier stares at an encrypted file, it decrypts itself.

Chuck Norris can count to infinity. Bruce Schneier can factor numbers up to infinity by trial division.

Bruce Schneier knows every prime number in existence. That includes Mersenne primes. He just enjoys seeing how long it takes us to find one.

Shor's algorithm makes the GNFS look like a baby. Bruce Schneier came up with an algorithm that makes Shor's algorithm look like a baby. Unfortunately, only he and Batman could understand it.

When Bruce Schneier was in elementary school, he proved the Riemann hypothesis for his show-and-tell. However, it is still considered to be "unsolved" because nobody else understands his proof.

Standards for a strong key: something that takes Bruce Schneier more than two seconds to crack.

Now, this guy would be a really valuable asset on the GIMPS team.
