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!
