Maybe JB is J. Bullerman?

Also i did a quick search on tripole and I got a bunch of things on magnetics.

I did notice his intentional mispelling of Tripole.... but thats it...

lol, maybe not too off there! Maybe the "J" in JB DOES stand for Jason. Or, JASON.

I had thought that maybe Tripoli lined up with one of the X's on the map, but I guess not, after overlaying the two (thanks to Google maps). Rargh. Someone's got to talk to Jeff.

EDIT: Upon looking at his blog, obviously someone did (thanks Ayeso). He replied pretty plainly, just standard stuff, but here's something I found interesting.

As for tripoli city... I don't really know. It must mean something. tripole tripole tripole. hmm, i dont know.

I instantly thought "triple 'E'"! And rushed to the zip file, but no cigar. Anyone else think of something?

It's very small - I just added it to my earlier post.

[Ayeso]

can someone post it? im at work and it doesnt showup

[faeryqueen21]

I was just gonna say that! If it's supposed to be letters it could be hn, or m with a long top. Or maybe it's could be a text representation of a nuclear power plant. It just reminds me of a long smoke stacky-thingy or whatever it's called that emits smoke from a factory.

I just noticed the favicon for the bullerman site (favicons are those little images that show up in your favorite listing for a site):

hm? hn? Does it look like anything to anyone?

I seriously doubt it Faery

I know...that's why it was a joke...*sniff* I guess I'm just not funny.


Anyway, I've been madly Googling things I could think of concerning Tripoli, Iowa and this case. I've tried things with nuclear power and DoD and come up with nothing. Back to the drawing board for me...

Yup that was very misleading... BUT... I tried as much as I could with reference to it to no avail... I will try asking jeff what he makes of it.

Nice find! I told you I am horrible with Morse Code. Alright so who wants to email Jeff and Steve about all this? What should we tell them?
