CODEBREAKING: Jonah and the Whale


People talk about Jonah and the Whale still to this day, but has anyone ever actually read the Book of Jonah? It's a really weird story that makes next to zero-sense, then seems to stop - rather than end - on a complete and total non-sequitur. It makes you feel sorry for all the theologians who tried to make sense of it for twenty-three centuries or so, because they didn't have clue what is really being conveyed here.


You see, Jonah and the Whale may be a confusing, meandering and pointless little fable on the face of it, but just lift up the curtain and you have yourself an absolute genius-level exercise in stellar code-making. And you fine folks get to see all these millennia-old ciphers broken in real time.
