The FBI wants your help. No really. It's a cold code case.
On June 30, 1999, sheriff’s officers in St. Louis, Missouri discovered the body of 41-year-old Ricky McCormick. He had been murdered and dumped in a field. The only clues regarding the homicide were two encrypted notes found in the victim’s pants pockets.
That's right, encrypted notes. Right out of TV land. And the FBI cryptologists can't figure them out. So they want YOU to figure them out for them. The reward? Nothing! Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zero. Cipher. Aught. Naught. Nil. Ought. Zot. Goose egg. Zippo.
So what's the incentive? Sort of like blogging. It's for fun! But remember...
Despite extensive work by our Cryptanalysis and Racketeering Records Unit (CRRU), as well as help from the American Cryptogram Association, the meanings of those two coded notes remain a mystery to this day...
So here ya' go sleuths. Have at it.

I've figured this out already but I want to give other people a chance too. (Now THAT'S an April fools joke.)
While you're on the FBI site you may want to look at the 'Scams and Safety' link.

Ah, this is too easy ... it's the full, detailed explanation of how Republican economic theories will benefit Real People.
No code cracking for me today. My computer is back from the hospital and its time to clog it up again....maybe in a neater way.
B - ARRGGHHH, you weren't supposed to tell!
A - But what else have you got to do?
It translates as "The wet bird never flies at night."
