Here is a scan of the ad in the marketplace section of USA Today for the 17th of Feb.

Will be interesting to compare ad to the one in the Times on Monday - wording, place in ad pages nd if any other ads in the classfied section are repeated in the US and the UK papers.

Cute little ad. It escaped me a for a while, but I ended up tracking it down in the middle of my 7-11. Lol. Lady at the desk kept giving me funny looks as I read most of the paper before I bought it, and then bought it anyway. And when she asked me what I was looking for, I just said, "Oh, a cube." Yeah, I think this town must really think I'm nuts now. First payphones, now a cube...

In any case, I hate to suggest this, but I feel it must be suggested. What if this is just a set of adverts? I mean, they could quite possibly have no significance, and that typo could just be a typo. Sure, in this world of games we should question everything, but these things just don't seem that special or amazing. It's an advert. As Sigmund Freud said about dream analysis and trying to find symbols in dreams, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

But, in any case, the second sentence has no punctuation or capitolization. Everything else does. That seemed off to me, especially in an important sentence like that. Once again, I'm up for the idea that we should compare the ads that we find, such as the next one on Monday.

Ugh... well, this really sucks. We get a clue leading us to a newspaper, which just leads back to the website where we got the clue from. Whoop-dee-doo. -_-

Well...its German. Been too long since I've spoken any of that. Give me a few min and I'll dust off the old German-English dictionary.

<edit>
Well I get...

"Here will a

Doesn't make much sense, but that is probably due to my rusty German. Also the page was made with Frontpage...so I would guess it is unrelated and OOG.
