COMERCIO

Saber para prever Prever para obrar
INDUSTRIA

Amor Orden y Procreso

EDIT: I know these are all actually there, the picture likely isn't part of the arg.....
but still. She is flanked by named pillars...

 		I'm really just lurking this game, but has anyone else noticed that the window is in Mexico City, the same place the Dr from the other weird AIM convos has disappeared to?

Hmmm, could this be a weird coincidence? I don't know... it could be plausible.

Actually, Sarah, it's not SLAVE, it's SALVE - the invocation for salvation made by the prayers to the saints, and very often to the Virgin.
Also, the rest of the writings ("comerce", "industry", "Love, Order and Progress") is, as far as I know, the kind of language very commonly used in latin american countries during their post-revolutionary periods. I know that is quite odd in a cathedral, but either the stained glass idates from circa 1930 (which is possible, stylistically speaking), or the writings have been added at a later time.

 		Female mutilation
Whoever edited the picture to include the bloody holes in her hands also removed part of her left breast.

Maybe we are dealing with someone who likes to mutilate women? Shocked

 		If that were the case (I doubt it) if might relate Still-life (again, I doubt it).

 		You're right, that's so weird about the breast. Here's an overlay of the two pics using the "difference" tool (paint shop pro) where you can sort of see what was edited.

IMHO, the left nipple in the original is quite prominent. In the edited version, it's not. I think this is probably just a bit of PM censorship and not significant in the context of the game.

The source code includes this:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Something is not right about this picture


That's all I have found so far.

M.

Edit: actually it's not hidden in the source, it's just black characters on black background - you can see it with the usual Select all thing.

 		Think it's a clue to this:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.againstthewillofgod.com/stigmata flashes for a brief second with some text before returning to the home page. (The Book of) Ecclesiastes 10:2

A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left

 		From the source:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Stigmata.html:

Ecclesiastes 10:2

which reads:
2 A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.

 		The "stigmata" page says:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Ecclesiastes 10:2


Which says:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
A wise man's heart [is] at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.
