A few weeks ago the offices of Lightbulb Detective Agency received a strange package. Inside the package was wine bottle, sealed in wax containing a single sheet of parchment. using a super sneaky trick a "Tilt-a-whirl" operator showed us, we were able to extract the parchment with out breaking the wax seal.
Using big fancy machines with blinking lights and spinning parts, we were able to determine that the parchment and the ink used to inscribe the message on the parchment were AT LEAST 150 years old.
The message was an unrecognisable string of letters and numbers, all written backwards. When we held up the parchment to a mirror we discovered the text below..

We were quite surprised to find that the text translated directly to a working URL...do yourself a favor and check out the link....

Wow. I can't believe I've never heard of this.
Time-Life's Mysteries of the Unknown let me down.
Agreed. Time-Life needs a new series of their books.
