What Is Your Wish?

I kinda want the recipes for those cupcakes, but I probably shouldn't go looking for the Al Qaeda newsletter if I want them, unless I also want to wind up on some kind of watch list.

I wonder if any of the would-be terrorists who unintentionally downloaded the recipes surreptitiously went home and made cupcakes. I hope so.

@Jim
The recipes where featured on the Ellen DeGeneres.
It says so in the source.

Personally, I would have just altered the original document to make it seem the same, but unworkable...

Perhaps even add a little something to make it dangerous to anyone trying to make the recipe.

Reminds me about a conspiracy theory I heard about the Anarchist's Handbook one time. The original book that came out in like the 70's had some recipes in it that would not work. There were some of the explosive recipes that would be extremely dangerous to try to do. Some made products that were so unstable that safe handling was almost impossible and you were pretty much guaranteed to blow yourself up if you tried it. The conspiracy theory I had heard was that the U.S. government was behind the book. The wrote it and made it known so anyone who wanted to do harm would take themselves out of the playing field. Of course, if you read about the history of the book you find that the odds of this conspiracy theory being true are pretty low.

Hacking a cupcake recipe over bomb making info? Hilarious! British humor just rocks.

@ Kalel

Exactly. For this reason I think this story is bullshit. Or maybe the intelligence agencies really are that dumb.

Not that hacking some website (and alerting the media at large) is going to stop terrorism, but let's pretend for the sake of, I dunno, comedy.
