Diceware for picking Unix passwords

The quick and dirty way I sometimes use for picking passwords is to pick a 
likely-looking string of x characters (x > 8) from my last PGP-encrypted 
message. I sometimes also interleave this with a string of y characters 
(<=4) picked at whim from the expansion of pi or e, which I keep around. 
Yes, I know I'm weird. ;-)
