AOL "News" Story on Starliper Cipher Solution

[Michael Butterfield Profile]

Today, I was somewhat surprised to see that AOL has listed a "news" story titled "Man Says He's Cracked Zodiac Killer Code." The link leads to the same Patch story from July 2011 regarding Corey Starliper and his already-debunked solution to the Zodiac's 340 symbol cipher. This story is nothing new for most readers, but here are some links for those who are not familiar with Starliper and his claimed solution:

Strangely, it appears that Tom Hanks is indirectly responsible for the renewed attention on Starliper's solution.

Hanks released his new animated sci-fi web series "Electric City" on July 17. On Yahoo Screen, there is a blog associated with the series, which has a recent post about famous uncracked codes such as the Zodiac codes, in which the Starliper solution is mentioned.

Yes -- The renewed attention makes me wish I had gotten around to updating that old thing.

Well you did make some changes a while back didn't you? Just stick a "new and improved" banner in the corner and no one will be any the wiser. Washing powder companies do it all the time.
