Life's Little Mysteries #2: Rockets & Recipes

With all the advances in technology over the decades, we can:

• build microscopic supercomputers that can solve millions of mathematical equations in a fraction of a second...
• fly spaceships into the heavens, launch powerful telecommunication satellites, and look through our telescopes to explore the furthest reaches of the universe...
• perform incredible, delicate operations on the human body, research devastating, crippling diseases and find miracle cures to make the sick well again...
• and even exhume the long-deceased from their final rest and, with our forensic skills, solve horrific crimes from years past...

...but we still can't discover the secret behind the Colonel's chicken coating recipe?!?

I have to conclude that Colonel Sanders secretly worked for the American government, and as part of a deal he worked out with them, they're keeping his secret locked away with everything else our government keeps from us. Sound good?
