After numerous rounds of "We don't know if Osama is still alive," Os
ama himself decided to send Ted Kennedy a note in his own handwriting to let
him know he was still in the game. Kennedy opened the note, which appeared
to contain a single line of coded message: 370HSSV-0773H.
Kennedy was baffled, so he E-mailed it to John Kerry. Kerry and his aides had no clue either, so they sent it to the FBI. No one could solve itat the FBI, so it went to the
CIA, then to the NSA. With no clue as to its meaning, the FBI finally asked Marine Corps Intelligence for help.
Within a few seconds, the Marines cabled back with this reply: "Tell=
Kennedy he is holding the message upside down."
