People see me enter my password and ask "how do you remember all that?". A 25 character sentence is easier to remember than some bizarre mix of random characters of half the length. Even 17 December 2009 is a complex password - does SQL not allow spaces in passwords? You security experts, is "Sr2FDeT2M0hProYMs" a more complex password than "There once was a man from Nantucket."? The latter is a 35 character password that I'm sure most of you could remember.
