Perfect Tool for Making Invisible Ink

[Guest W***ledi*Time]

Lawrence Mijares reports for All Headline News, 21 Sep 2010:

 

This first volume in the authorized history of British Intelligence is written by Professor Keith Jeffery, of Queen?s University, Belfast, who was given unrestricted access to MI6?s archives of the period.

 

Significantly, it starts with its first director and gifted naval officer, Mansfield Cumming, who signed his memos as ?C? and was a fan of Edwardian pornography.

 

In Cummings? time, which was before the two world wars, intelligence men lived the high life much like Ian Fleming?s James Bond, where ravishing female ?mata hari? spies were deployed inside enemy lines, of british agents demanding ?champagne allowance,? and most importantly, operatives conveying secret messages concealed in jewels or hiding suicide tablets inside signet rings.

 

As the story goes, sometime June, 1915, Cumming inquired with London University what the best kind of invisible ink was, and got his answer in the form of semen which was readily available (to male agents at least) and did not react to usual methods of detection, particularly to iodine vapour as discovered by one agent. This last gave Cumming much delight and consideration that a great problem was solved.

 

Information about enemy troop movements were then conveyed with ease by the secret agent organization, ?La Dame Blanche?, presumably using the unique invisible ink.

 

Commenting on Professor Jefferey?s book, Sir John Sawers, current Chief of MI6, said:

 

?Professor Jeffery?s history gives a view of the men and women who, through hard work, dedicated service, character and courage, helped to establish and shape the Service in its difficult and demanding early days. I see these qualities displayed every day in the current Service as SIS staff continue to face danger in far flung places to protect the United Kingdom and promote the national interest. I know my predecessors would be as proud as I am of the men and women of the Service today.?

Not sure why I know this... Experiments when I was a kid I think... haha.

 

Lemon juice or milk, also acts as invisble ink... I think they turn brown when heated, but dry clear...

 

I wasn't readily accessible to semen as a child, possibly why I missed that one... Hahaha!
