After hearing "We don't know if Osama is still alive" for the umpteenth time, Bin Ladin decides to write to Bush in his own handwriting to settle the point. The President opened the letter and was confronted by a single line of coded message:
370HSSV-0773H
Bush was baffled, so he emailed it to Condi Rice. Condi and her aides had no clue either, so they sent it to the FBI. No one could solve it at the FBI so it went to the CIA, then to the NSA.
With no clue as to its meaning they finally asked MI6 for help.
Within a minute MI6 contacted the White House with this reply:
"Tell the President he's holding the message upside down."
