WW2 Pigeon Code Decrypted By Canadian?

Posted by timothy on from the pinned-down-send-fries-and-gravy dept.

Albanach writes "At the start of November Slashdot reported the discovery of a code, thought to be from the Second World War, found attached to the leg of a pigeon skeleton located in an English chimney. Now a Canadian by the name of Gord Young claims to have deciphered the message in less than 20 minutes. He believes that the message is comprised mostly of acronyms."

    It's not pretty neat, as he hasn't figured out anything. He's just pulled a couple of vagualy relevant-looking backronymns out of his arse.

    Anyone who's ever played 'acrophobia' could do that too.
    And nobody who's played 'acrophobia' would ever claim to have cracked the code.

    Nothing to see here, move along.
