Another fine product of the Tyrell Corporation?
Aha! So the secret message is… cvcnvvnc!
A friend of mine used to joke that, if you had precise enough equipment, you could take any message, convert it into a very long number, insert a decimal point in front of that number, and encode the whole thing as a very precise notch on a stick carved that percentage of the way along the stick.
Whenever I assassinate someone the fake fingerprints I plant when decoded read ‘Jason Bourne was here!’
The hardcore spy hides the message by changing his own fingerprint with a laser.
So my fingerprints contain the text of every book written and ever will be written, I just need to try different keys.
Neat.
An infinite number of monkeys (or one immortal monkey, take your pick) thank(s) you for your service.
Just, whatever you do, don’t use an infinite number of immortal monkeys.
It was the best of times, it was the BLURST of times!
J… A… S… O… N… B… O…U…R… What the?!
