I know this is joke. Yet (in a slim chance someone out there can follow it
with seriousness) I would strongly suggest:

Don't do it. Don't use anything as any sort of password which was ever
publicized in any shape. Putting it in a search line of any search engine,
or it passing it over to any (but your own) password strength checker has
(fair in my estimate!) chance of that to be logged, added into the
database, etc. I almost which to yell: people use your brain ! ;-)

I know, I know, everybody is reasonable, it is just I didn't have my
coffee yet...
