With the proliferation of social networking, we are practically drowning in user generated images and video.

The idea here is to use the image analog of Bible Code type techniques (statistical distribution of letters within text that purport to discover hidden messages) -- on images.

Run the analysis on the billions of supplied images, as if they had steganographic encryption applied to them -- and see what comes up.
