Experts at intelligence agency GCHQ have asked for help in de-coding a message found attached to a pigeon leg, thought to date back to WWII.
The dead bird was found in a chimney in Surrey a few weeks ago.
But without more information, the code may never be cracked, according to the BBC's security correspondent Gordon Corera.
The code is as follows:
AOAKN HVPKD FNFJW YIDDC
RQXSR DJHFP GOVFN MIAPX
PABUZ WYYNP CMPNW HJRZH
NLXKG MEMKK ONOIB AKEEQ
WAOTA RBQRH DJOFM TPZEH

So that’s what happened to all those little tasty hens...
Joe hasn’t changed much through the years. Here’s the translation...
“The food sucks. We never get our mail. The Officers are idiots. The Germans have better weapons than us. I never get enough sleep. It’s too hot, cold, rainy and snowy at the same time. My boots are too tight. The Air Force gets all the girls....and some of the guys. Everyone yells at me. I went on sick call and they made me eat a worm. I never get promoted because the Captain hates people with eyebrows.”
Don’t send any more pigeons. They’re crapping all over the place.
I guess we'll need a hen to figure it out.
What an ENIGMA!
Only if she’s game.

You, sir, are a genius!
Yah-ta-hey (no they don't translate Navajo either)

In two thousand twelve the welfare masses will overwhelm the polling stations all across the U S A -to vote for free health care, free housing, free cars, free petro, free appliances, free college, free clothing, free cell phones, free televisions, free electricity, free heating oil, free busing, all via voting for socialist obami and the demorats [and everyone else is forever scr*wed].
AOAKN being read as Anna, Oleg, Anna, Kirill, Nikita.
And so on for each group. These messages can drone on for a long time.
The code itself has been long broken, but that particular message will likely not be deciphered, unless some one discovers the key to the one day pad in use on that day by Russian agents in England during WWII.
