Of late, I’ve been gradually getting into the whole culture surrounding the Zodiac Killer cipher. One pretty good source of information is ZodiacKiller.com, where to my great surprise I found a link to a November 2007 Daily Star article (how did I ever miss this?), claiming that troubled dance-pop queen Britney Spears was heavily into the whole Zodiac Killer mystery, and “is convinced she can crack the case as many people believe the culprit is still alive”.
Like, ummm, wowza.
If this Daily Star story is indeed true (hint: the answer’s probably in the question), then what’s next? Justin Timberlake retaliating by publishing a critical monograph on Le Livre Des Sauvages? Madonna announcing her own transcription of the Rohonc Codex? Or – possibly most likely – Christina Aguilera actually solving the Tamam Shud mystery but still selling fewer tour tickets than Britney?
Watch this space, cipher mystery pop funsters…
I look forward to seeing your take on the Zodiac ciphers!

I was under the impression that the Zodiac killer code was cracked? Was this a hoax?
Anth: I covered Corey Starliper’s claimed Zodiac crack recently here, and… no, I really don’t think he managed to nail it, sorry. 🙁
And incidentally, who’d have believed the guy’s name anagrams to “Specialty: Error”, or “Literary Corpse”? Spooky! 😉
Yep I agree, I read your posted rebuttal while browsing your page after I posted here.
It’s a crock. He selects letters when he wants, typically S becomes W but in other cases it is not and inserts random letters here and there etc.
Hi Nick,
This may help –

he probably had breakfast from a packet like this before going out to commit his dastardly deeds.
