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."
