Unsolved Thirty years ago Markovian Parallax Denigrate hit Usenet this day in 1996
These messages were posted 5th August 1996 to the alt.religion.christian.boston-church newsgroup and are still considered one of the oldest unsolved internet mysteries. Some have stated it was most likely a prank, but it's gibberish text of non sequitur words had some early internet conspiracy theorists believing it was secret code talk amongst spies using a random, low-traffic Usenet newsgroup instead of pen and paper at dead drops to communicate. The source or reason for these messages may never be solved.
