Crafty Brits used ‘readily available’ semen as invisible ink during WWI

 

Yuck, but effective? I do wonder what the full story behind the discovery is though.

Do these documents still exist or where they destroyed? This kind of reminds me of the Mata Hari story.

 

Well as an ink is was easy to come by, with no chance of it being found by enemy agents.

 

And certainly the appropriate guy for the job? it would appear..Mansfield Cumming.

 

This wouldn’t go over very well with Republican Delaware Senate hopeful Christine O’Donnell, according to her retrieving that "ink" is adultery (don’t ask me how), and since she dabbled in witchcraft in her youth she would have turned the MI 6 boys into toads or something.

 

See, if President Clinton had this information back in 1998.....
.....sorry! sorry!

 

Well he certainly sent Monica a message

 

It also gives new meaning to "my pen exploded".

 

Groan!

 

Brings a new meaning to the word 'penpal'

and a better rhythm to tinker, sailor, soldier, ...ker

 

It also gives new meaning to "with the stroke of a pen" ....... ok, ok, I'm done, I promise.

 

I'm trying to think of a clean joke...
Seriously though Ray, good find.

 

ha! ha! gordon..you will..lol

 

or! beef jerky?

 

I'm sure something will come to you if you try hard enough

 

You know what they say - the pen is mightier than the sword.....

 

choosing candidates was most likely diplomatic! I would suggest..
