 		Naah.. theres no such thing as "too much of a coincidence" in an ARG. Razz

Hell I could go on a trail just as long about Frank Thomas probably if i just analyzed all of the baseball references in the image and ignored the toys.

 		Couldn't hurt to try the staring eyes thing. Only problem is that since it's in a 3d space and some are looking at the camera it'd be very ahrd to trace them correctly. But everything is worth trying.

Off to bed for me too. Maybe someone will solve it by thetime i get back on tomorrow and i can focus on something new.

 		Like many others I don't think I'm about to get any further at the moment. Maybe after a good sleep and a scrumptious breakfast my mind will think of something. Or better yet, maybe some brilliant person will solve it while I sleep.

This is the first ARG I've ever participated in, and it's pretty amazing experience to have so many people working on a problem and contributing lots of great ideas. But it's frustrating that nearly all of the great ideas seem to go nowhere.

 		The Russy Michelin connection
On the right side of the screen is a sticker with the word "Russy". When I google "russy" the top hit is a link to a map. A Michelin map.

There is a Michelin man on the top of the screen. Could this be a lead?

 		Interesting connection Frakkas.

When I search yahoo the first hit is this site from Japan.

http://www.russy.co.jp/

It's a "character toy shop" It's probaby nothing but curious.

I think I'm off to bed too, maybe i'll think of something while I'm sleeping.

 		ok ignore that last post...
i made it to see if i had to register in oreder to post or not. But here is waht i have found so far. frome the rugtherford site you get links to ilovebees. on this site i have found many interesting thinsg that i am not sure if they are part of the ilovebees game or what. however this link has a countdown to something that i am not sure of http://www.ilovebees.com/index.html and make sure to use IE as FF does not display the ocuntdown timer. there are other related links that show wepages and after you click on the bee animation on that page it gives you the same page only less corrupt and you repeat this over and over until the page is displayer properly. somewhere i did find a page that had TRUTH written all over it...but im searching my history for it right now and since i havent cleared it in a while ima need some time.

I'm lost.

 		The sticker on the right looks to me like it says Rusty.

It reminds me of the stickers you used to get at the dentist when you were little, might be off the mark there, but that's what it reminds me of Smile.
