A Riddle at Fermilab

This is a pretty wild story. Someone sent a coded message to Fermilab over a year ago that no one could deciper.

The letter came delivered by USPS on Mar 5, 2007, addressed to:

Fermilab
Kirk Rd. & Pine
Batavia, IL 60510

It was hand addressed but came in an envelope where you pull on the ends for it to come apart.

It was postmarked in Chicago.

You can download the high-res version here.

Link to the story on Slashdot.

No one was able to deciper it until, of course, they posted it on the internet, and it looks like the message may have been cracked by John Graham-Cumming.
