It began with me getting curious about those funny random word sites that mess up google searches so often. These sites usually chinese in origin have nothing in them but random words. Even the htm file names are random words.

Jumping from one page to another led me to this page which talks about "Number Stations" . If you have listened to shortwave radio, you must have come across these stations which have some person just reciting and repeating a sequence of words or numbers. I had never paid attention to it, but its amazing how deep the rabbit hole goes. At the very basic level these are supposedly government sponsored stations which communicate with spies.
Found this amazing BBC radio documentary on that topic. Download it from this page. Just 6 mb, its worth it. Do a search in Wikipedia for Number Stations for further info.
