Grr, I'm a gonna have to crack your kryptos Deathbreak.:)They'll crack it hopefully. I mean, if they don't, they wouldn't be much of a secrecy/intelligence agency :P (Please don't hunt me down CIA)

No, the last part decodes as"I don't really care about it, it was a satirical comment about the total waste of time and effort that has gone into massaging the ego of the sculptor."You were missing the crucial key that I had left under my fridge.
