Re: Buyers and Sellers

I am sadly selling my Bronze Revo (that I received from Chris' hands in Essen last year!) due to my inability to handle such a heavy item.

Re: Unsolveable??

as the fist messages from Zodiac killer where decoded, I think he made up this fake code as a joke for the police. Maybe 20% of this page contains a real scrambled message, but a lot of stuff is just random glyphs, just to confuse the people trying to decode it.
