Reminded me of a puzzle I wrote around 2000.  The puzzle, given below, consisted of ROT-N words (words encrypted by rotating by N letters, like ROT-13).  What was interesting about the words selected was that many of them encrypted as other words.  Since the value of N may change with each word, multiple Caesar ciphers were needed. I don't remember if I posted the puzzle to any Usenet groups.
