Still learning to use Linux, just for a laugh I tried the John program on /etc/shadow and in 41 seconds it showed my password on the screen. So for a moment I thought "OMG My Passord Is Teh Suxxor" but then I thought, who the hell cares?
A real attacker wouldn't be able to get at the password file unless they already had root access, in which case they wouldn't bother with my password would they?
