This is an ‘html-only’ version of Scribblings with no database behind it. This means it is not possible to search it. I am working on a new version with which I am hoping to eventually put back into the main site. The new version is here but please note that there is no link directly back to the main site.

Osama writes to George W
Someone sent me the following by email. I rather like it
After numerous rounds of: “We don’t even know if Osama is still alive”, Osama himself decided to send George Bush a letter in his own handwriting to let him know he was still in the game. Bush opened the letter and it appeared to contain a coded message:
370HSSV ‘0773H
Bush was baffled, so he asked Condy and Dick if they understood it. They didn’t either, so he emailed it to Colin Powell. Colin and his aides had no clue either so they sent it to the FBI. No one could solve it so it went to the CIA, then to NASA, then to the Secret Service.
With no clue as to its meaning, they eventually asked Britain’s MI6 for help. MI6 cabled the White House: Tell the President he is holding the letter upside down.
An apology
Since moving the site to a new server Scribblings is not as easy to find your way around as it used to be. It used to depend on a script and a database on the server but is currently served as ‘flat html’.
I have some ideas about how to make it a bit easier but they depend on writing another script. I hope to get around to it ‘eventually’.
