Mein Fraulien, you must call me
For those that love mysteries, get a load of this: Following a bizarre message on online personals website Craigslist, a mysterious recorded message has been found on a New York telephone number. It appears to be in some sort of code.
The bizarre messages starts with an extract of a tune by A-ha known as ‘Little Black Heart’, then fades into a long sequence of numbers divided into blocks of five, repeating each one. Each number appears to have been recorded separately, as each has a different voice. The message ends with the tune from the beginning being repeated.
Theories as to the origin of the message range from intelligence agents (spies) exchanging messages, terrorism, drug traffickers, a clever viral marketing scheme (perhaps for the new film The Da Vinci Code), a simple hoax or two cryptographic lovers exchanging messages.

This was followed shortly afterwards by another Craigslist posting, this time with another number, and another recording, which you can listen to HERE
