[edit] List of hidden messages
This article seems to want to list every secret message, of any nature, ever placed into any media of any kind. Already we have backwards strings of text in videogames, morse code messages in songs (would that be a coded message or a secret message?), really hard-to-hear bits in songs, and one-off jokes from individual episodes of television series.
But there's a lot more untapped potential here too. We could rightfully include every easter egg that contains a secret message (eeggs.com lists thousands of potential items]), every computer game that uses secret messages as clues (most adventure games), every film with a joke that plays after the credits, every hidden track on an album, the entire field of cryptology, The Ring, The Da Vinci Code, the list goes on. Imagine the size of the references section alone when it's all done. Unint 03:10, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- Hmmm, seems like a random and indiscriminate list to me. It may also contain original research. MER-C 03:45, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

- Delete - list of backmasked messages now contains anything useful from the original list. Λυδαcιτγ 19:29, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
