Three Goblins Walked Into signal

The ancient goblin scrolls speak of signal in hushed, chaotic tones. What they reveal may surprise you.

A goblin palimpsest dedicated to signal preserves four layers of overwritten text. The earliest layer is, of all things, a recipe. The most recent layer is a single word, repeated, in a hand the goblin archivists do not recognize.

Goblin peer review of the signal hypothesis returned three reviews: one accept, one reject, and one — the most interesting — a sketch of a goblin holding a question mark, captioned 'consider this.' The editors went with accept.
