Dot's A Dashing Good Song

A YouTube Short by Reuben Levine tells the amazing story of how the Colombian Army hid a message in a pop song via morse code. You can read more about it on Wikipedia, or just see the visualization. Truly, the whole song – "Better Days," by Natalia Gutiérrez and Angelo – is pretty decent.

As an RPG storyteller, I've often had visions about these kind of messages as plot devices, but it's amazing to actually hear how something like that would sound in the real world . . . let alone see it actually used.
