...I've got nothing to add
Sounds like plenty has been added already
My most-est favorite one ever was in the local paper many years ago.
Page 3 news, so not quite front page headlines but right up there with important stuff going on in the region.
The article, in its entirety was :
Jacket Stolen
Sometime between last Sunday and
Thursday a jacket was stolen from a
shed in Watchet. The shed was
unlocked. The jacket had no value.

Was that a secret code message? Maybe that was green-lighting a clandestine operation by deep cover spies?

Maybe. Or maybe that was on the weather page, I recall it may have said something like :
Heavy Weather forecast for next week :
The red fox will leave the hen house at the next full moon. The carnation will be worn under the clock tower by the Victorian architect who has many names and knows the truth.
I just assumed it meant it was going to rain, but maybe I stand corrected ?.
...and in other news, police also shut down the chewing gum factory next door making Wriggleys...
Occasionally the Northern Territory daily comes up with crackers. I remember their front page headline was "Best man hit by flying dildo'... or words to that effect..

That is so confusing. Obviously very much a coded message as the reference to the architect that knows the truth is clearly fantasy. You would think people making up these codes would do better than that.
