Nothing easier than that. Here you go:
1) take one scratch drive, preferably the 10 krpm variety. Extra bonus for
several of them.
2) cat "om mani padme hum" all over the drive (echo, >> and dd is your
friend)
3) voila! a high-performance modern version of a tibetan prayer wheel,
with multiple instances of the prayer (mangnetically encoded, but I
doubt the deity will mind) rotating at up to 10 krpm
Just checking on the nine billion names of God:
cat /dev/urandom | mimencode | grep "YVHV"
(a minute or so passes):

Yahweh lives in /dev/urandom!
