If you have the May 2012 Popular Science magazine, turn to the last page and there is a letter addressed to the public from the editors titled, "A Mystery 140 Years In The Making, Something Odd In Our Archives."

Apparently when the guys at Popular Science were going through their archives they found a note inside the December 1928 issue, and it had Web Address On It.

The web address linked to a encrypted page within their own system. The say that they can't get in but they know somebody has been coming and going.

They link a photo of the clues written and tell you the answers are hidden on specific pages of the issue and on those pages there are small photos of the covers of those issues.

NOW AT THIS POINT I WOULD NORMALLY SAY ITS A STUPID LITTLE JOKE UNTIL I FOUND THIS WRITTEN BY ONE OF THE EDITORS IN 2004.

Here is a quote.

"What's upsetting in these examples is not so much the positions taken by reasonable people on ethical and scientific issues as the fact that debates seem shaped by political operatives who bypass reason and instead leverage ignorance the way dot-com-era Wall Street leveraged phantom assets."

"Here I might trot out the lemmings-headed-for-a-cliff comparison -- what we don't know will hurt us, ignorance is not bliss, etc. But the lemmings story is a myth. Pudgy Arctic rodents don't run headlong off cliffs. People, metaphorically, do."

I understand what the big deal is...you said a note was found in a 1928 issue ......with a web address right?

So how do I know that it was not written today in the 1928 issue?

are you saying the web address was in the 1928 issue when it was published or someone later wrote a web address on a 1928 issue?
