Is that a secret microdot, Feltwell?

How exciting!

Now this secret microdot
is a secret microdot.

(you may remember we played this game a long time ago...)
and this is a really secret microdot

Nah - you just scanned that pinhead!

And what's the point of a secret microdot that just says "secret microdot". It's like that old Timothy Birdsall cartoon of a notice that said "do not throw stones at this notice"!

It's a decoy for the really secret microdot that you missed...

It's like that old Timothy Birdsall cartoon of a notice that said "do not throw stones at this notice"!

Which reminds me of:-

Arthur Dent: I wonder what'll happen if I press this button.
Ford Prefect: Don't.
Arthur Dent: [presses it] Oh.
Ford Prefect: What happened?
Arthur Dent: A sign lit up saying "Please do not press this button again."

Ah, the great and sadly missed Douglas Adams.
