If you really want to screw with their minds, start sending text
messages encrypted via an Enigma Machine:

Keep making cryptic references to something secret that's going to occur
in the Ardennes in the near future which will lead to the downfall of
"The Cigarette-Smoking Man", "The Cigar-Smoking Man", and "The
Pipe-Smoking Man"...and sign the messages "The Paper-Hanging Man". ;-)

In fact, the original Unix crypt utility, still available on most Unix
distributions, is an n-rotor Enigma machine. It's not very hard to break
by modern standards, but it's plenty of fun to play with and the Bell Labs
guys produced a kit to help you break it back in the late eighties. Send
all your friends messages about invading Poland and be the life of the party!

Somewhere, way back in this group, I did send some postings in Enigma
code (even using the Stecker) that other posters did decode successfully.
What made Enigmas so interesting is that a fairly simply mechanical
device could generate that many permutations.
IIRC, by the time they ended up with a modified one using twelve rotors,
the number of possible permutations were larger than the number of atoms
in the known universe.
