When I was in undergrad I was helping out a PhD student in computer science, working on how to parse English. One of his test cases was, "I saw the man on the hill with a telescope." for which there is of course no one possible meaning. I was told years later the company he worked for at the time (this was the mid 1980's) was the CIA (and to my memory, he only ever told me "his company" and never named it while we were working together). I don't know if or how any of my "help" made it into the US gov't, but I think about it sometimes.
