  Least Significant Bit(s) (LSB) encoding
  Stealing 1 bit : 11111111 => 1111111_   
  Stealing 2 bits: 11111111 => 111111__
  Stealing 3 bits: 11111111 => 11111___
  Minor changes don't register in our senses
  8 bit graphics can hold 1*n message bit per pixel
  24 bit graphics can hold 3*n message bits per pixel
  Images that use lossy compression (JPG, etc) can hold less data.
  The 'one/three byte per pixel' rule doesn't apply.
  Data is stored by modifying repetitive bytes.
