The bassist of the once popular band Blink 182 Mark Hoppus made an unusual post on Twitter when he was asked what is the most amazing story about you that is true.
He replied that on an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf in 2003, he told one of the admirals that he had an idea on how to capture Saddam Hussein.
He explained that the idea was to locate Hussein by playing a time code from the van's speakers at a frequency that people couldn't hear, but in the dynamic range of the cameras' microphones.
"If Saddam spoke via video, he would record that exact timecode. Then you can determine where the truck was at that moment and get closer to Hussein's location," Hopus explained.
The story is almost impossible to verify, but Blink 182 performed on the aircraft carrier several months before Saddam Hussein was found and captured.
