You can't actually increase the entropy
 

 
Perhaps, but the recent discussions here seem to boil down to "password
based key derivation functions" which may frustrate bruteforce attacks a
bit.

The thread has kind of drifted in that direction.  It began as a way to
try to "remember" a complex password by encoding it as "something else"
such that one might not need to worry should the stazi examine your
papers and find the "something else" in your possession.
