...      !  and the cracking of the secret code revealing the scribbled message lying in a container hanging around the neck of a (dead) pigeon
                        which has been flying in and out of war zones (1939-45)      ?    . . . .         ?!


KOO'S HEAD :  I've got a bit of a bone to pick with you!,  Doc
DOC :                Oh really.   What have I done exactly ?  
KOO'S HEAD :  Well, a while ago  TheUsualSuspects  made it abundantly clear that they've cracked 
             the pigeon code
DOC :                 Yes.  It was only yesterday actually.  It just seems longer.
KOO'S HEAD :  So why didn't you publish on it ? ..Or at least let us know what the hell is going on..! 
DOC :                Look, KH, I don't have sole editorial discretion, y'know .. It's not   . ..
KOO'S HEAD :  So . .? .. who are they, these Suspects  who are making that claim  ?
DOC :                Well, the usual . . everybody at  The (Kelostemy) Inn .. y'know .. 
             from Eeks to ?Ynnit.
KOO'S HEAD : I see.  And you say they've cracked the coded message(s) ?  . ..  ..
             So what do these messages tell us, then ?
DOC :        Aah ! That's where it gets interesting. . . I can tell you more tomorrow.
