Thanks to @gamehawk's post here I found some nice links on diceware and passphrases:
- EFF's dice passphrases page is great and clear: https://www.eff.org/dice
- The Diceware FAQ, especially the "how long" part, are very interesting http://world.std.com/%7Ereinhold/dicewarefaq.html#howlong

@cwebber
I built my password by clicking "random page" on wikitionary 3-4 times
@cwebber seems like.a different ranbowtable problem
@b the math for that is factored in, see http://world.std.com/~reinhold/dicewarefaq.html
@cwebber Hmm. If you add the dice together it's not a flat distribution. Or is the table for six distinct d6 values?
@cwebber That is exactly how the table works. Never mind me. :-)
@cwebber and if you don’t have dice but have a deck of cards you can try this: https://github.com/skeeto/pokerware
Oh and maybe most excitingly is how nice and easy the EFF word list makes it. Just roll 6 dice into a shoebox, check which word corresponds to that. Do that 6 times and you've got a passphrase.
