Shoe thing.

If this entire thing is a marketing campaign for shoes I'm going to break my monitor.

nice! Ok so someone needs to tell tranzed to update the primer Razz

The Receda Cube
Sente Kiteway
and loads of other names now on record... let the 'Receda' spec ensure... maybe someone needs to start a thread about the receda name, and keep the newspaper discussion to this thread...

Aside from this being old news, what has it got to do with 'Adverts in newspapers' ??

Been having a look at the word RECEDA.

1. No entry in the Oxford English Dictionary (that's the 20 volume one!).

2. It is a form of the verb *recedere*, which comes from Latin and is current in Italian. It is a legal term meaning withdraw. (to remove, to take back, to recall).

If someone is good at grammer:
Present continuous singular
-a
-a
-a

Present inperfect
-
-a
-

Sorry my grammer is not good enough to decipher this!!

SasunD: nice find! anyway, i think that the pm-s are getting really pissed at us for finding all those.
or it is possible that after we've found all those url's [like www.perplexcityradio.com, etc] they'd drop this in as a misguide.

Again doesn't fit nicely with what we've got, but in style it's more like the press release section than the sofa section.

On a separate note Sente and Receda both Italian.

Since "Receda" isn't coming up as any kind of real word, is it possible that it's the name of the location where the Cube was found? I'm probably somewhat swayed here, though, as I thought about "location" as soon as read "Receda" and "LA Times" (there is a town near LA called ReSeda) Rolling Eyes

Also, interesting to know that the Cube is an "archaeological artifact" as opposed to something that that Zeller dude invented or discovered - I wonder if he died researching it or something else (the error log isn't very clear on that).

New thread for discussion of the name Receda Cube here since this thread is rapidly getting towards postcard-thread length....

'receda' isn't Latin or Italian as far as I know, but it could be derived from 'recedo' which, in Latin is to either retreat, disappear (sort of) or depart

(i think)

wow! I didn't think we'd learn what The XXXXX cube was till very late in the game. I thought fFor sure that would be one of those deep dark secret bits.

This game is gonna be huge, isn't it.

Is anyone getting a scan of the ad? We should always strive to maintain archiveable copies of these things.

(also, i-fForget-who is supposed to be getting a scan of the NY Sun; how's that going? (you said to not worry pestering you .. so here i am Smile )
