Want.



Code and decode secret messages on your finger

Big Brother is watching. Listening. Reading your notes. What can you do? The tinfoil hat only protects your brain from the aliens. Once you put your ideas down on paper, anyone can read them. ANYONE. Possibly even the aliens with their x-ray beams. But definitely Big Brother since you're 99% sure that your house is bugged for video and audio. How else does Google find out you want to bake spam casserole?
Paranoid much? (It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you.) Pick up a pair of Secret Decoder Rings and you'll be able to encrypt your most personal messages, like the sticky notes you leave on your significant other's lunch bag. Nobody needs to know that she calls you Pookiepants and you call her Snoshmuffin. Simply remove the ring from your finger, twist the interlocking bands and you'll be able to code and decode your messages in a jiffy.

    The problem with these rings though is that they use a simple code that is broken in seconds. Each letter is numbered 1-16, but instead of A=1, B=2.. they bumped each letter up two numbers.. A=3, B=5.

    NOW, with this in mind, you could add another layer of security into the equation by having a secondary code. The rings only helping to disclose the initial layer of encryption.

    Each ring is $15.99.. so that's $32 for a simple set of code rings, with an easily compromised encryption.

    Correction, I meant numbered 1-26.. NOT 1-16. Fat-fingered typo. My apologies.

    Silver Sentinel,

    Thank you - but! The Cool factor. They could also have random numbers out of sequence - the pictures where the decoding is going on seem to indicate that. Most likely something still easily decrypted. Long ago, in a halcyon age gone by, toys like decoder rings were common (or so One has heard). And made of (at that time) quality materials like tin, lead, and radium.

    And Rayguns!
