website backsites

When I clicked on the man hole it said "below, below below" the link took me to www.wishbowl.com or something of the sort. When I pressed the back button it kept taking me to consecutive sites about wishes. One site had a poem by COWLEY called "The Wish"

I haven't had a chance to check each of them out, but I put the links in bold that at a glance looked interesting.

Here's what I've found so far PRESSING BACK:
www.wishbowl.com
[url]www.fivecentwish.com [/url] {During my continuous backing this came up twice. Could that mean something?}
www.wishus.org
www.wishfm.net
[url]http://www.bartleby.com/101/353.html [/url]
[url]www.wishmachine.com[/url]
http://members.aol.com/ATOYA/wishing.html
www.wishtv.com
www.iwishyouwish.com
www.wishsf.com {a bar and lounge in San Francisco}
http://www.wshh.com/

Again I'm not sure how useful any of these are but the one at Bartleby is definently worth a look.

The Sibyl of Cumae is one of the oldest and most famous
prophetesses known to the ancient Graeco-Roman world. She
was the guardian spirit of a sacred cave at Cumae, the earliest
Greek settlement in Italy. (Her cave may still be seen on the
Italian coast a little north of the Bay of Naples). Her Sibylline
prophecies (in nine volumes) were entrusted to Rome's last king,
Tarquinus Superbus. She was also regarded as the gate-keeper of
the underworld, and in the sixth eclogue of Virgil's Aeneid, she
conducts Aeneas through Hades (or the underworld). Once the
God Apollo offered her immortality if she would be his lover.
The Sibyl accepted but failed to ask for perpetual youth and
hence, withered into old age


Since I have them:

Cave1.jpg shows what is generally believed today to be the actual cave of the Sibyl of Cumae.

Cave2.jpg shows us descending to the cave of the Sibyl as it was believed to be in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It was a must see on the Grand Tour. This one is on private property on the banks of Lake Averno and is not easily seen these days. Luckily, we were travelling with members of the Virgillian Society. Smile

cave 1

Interesting! Cave 1 repeats itself 6 (?) times … ascending or descending in scale! Fractals?

No, just a long hallway with six windows. The rest is perspective.

I don't think so. After "tunnel1" [SPEC: Does this mean there are more tunnels to come? Currently no tunnel2 at greywethers] there is another page "greywethers.net/rr.htm". So far all I have seen are the ten pages, and it seems to be random chance which one you get each time. It might be worth checking every so often to see if other pages are added at a later time.

Dale's latest email seems to suggest that we should keep an eye on the sainteberegonne.html page. My guess is that more of the doors and windows will become clickable (announced perhaps by an email from greywethers) leading to more puzzles ending in a wish related myth/legend (e.g. morale of cumaeansybil seems to be "be careful what u wish for")

I'm also unclear what to make of the Sainte Beregonne page we found on Greywethers' site, but it seems naggingly familiar to me for some reason. Hopefully we will hear back from him again soon.

Also in Dale's latest email, he says that "greywethers" is a he. I've been wondering wether it's male or female.


I'm still uncertain how Greywethers fits into all of this, except that I am
positive he knows about the Wish.I thought for a while that Greywethers might
actually be the Wish, but I don't know how or why he would be attempting to
contact me.

am i a retard or has everyone else seen this but me?


www.greywether.net/vec.html

It's a poem in latin i believe saying this

Vulpis et Corvus

Qui se laudari gaudet verbis subdolis

fere dat poenas turpi paenitentia.

Cum de fenestra corvus raptum caseum

comesse vellet celsa residens arbore,

vulpes invidit, deinde sic coepit loqui:

"O qui tuarum, corve, pennarum est nitor!

quantum decoris corpore et vultu geris!

si vocem haberes, nulla prior ales foret."

at ille stultus, dum vult vocem ostendere

lato ore emisit caseum; quem celeriter

dolosa vulpes avidis rapuit dentibus.

tum demum ingemuit corvi deceptus stupor.



Rolling Eyes if i'm a retard just tell me to shut up -_-

when in doubt, do a search. If you need assistance, hand up and dial the operator...

Those are our only two choices? Well...if I have to pick...I'd say it's just you and Silver Eyed Devine that are noticing this now.

Hey, regardless of what ppl pick you are in good company. Me. When enough letters faded I could see vechtml in the fading I posted... Embarassed too late as well. Embarassed
The upside to that was there was also a green e on the page at that point that disappeared almost as soon as I mentioned it. Maybe you will be the one to find the connection! Very Happy

Maybe we can get together sometime and go slogging through the cranberry bog to see what we might see!
