i can think of a few bars like that. for instance, here in phoenix, if you say cooperstown, everyone knows where you are talking about .

as for the cups. this was actually mentioned in da vinci code, as someone said. the cups is the same as the grail, which was a symbol for women. its pretty much a v. sometimes a closed triangle. the symbol for men is the blade, which is pointed up, but otherwise the same as the grail. blade=sword, grail= cup. sword=club, cup=heart. five of cups, five vs, v is five in roman numerals, so we have vvvvv, which is twenty five, i guess. dunno, just thinking aloud here.

maybe the owner won a big game of poker with the 5 of cups on the river; then he spent his winnings on buying the bar!

anyway... I agree with cassandra that

Is it just me or are there similarities between the futures section and some of the latest headlines..e.g.

The Spider (April 11 - May 10)
You are a rare and special flower. No, really. I don't care what all those other people say.
Petel Returns from Brink to Victory

The Eagle (March 11 - April 10)
As the pop song goes, you'll never get the spoils if it's not in the cards. Stick a card up your sleeve, snookums, and let the spoils come to you. But just this once. Our secret. Yours, mine, and the 5 million strong Sentinel readership.
Five of Cups Owner Found Dead

It seems like maybe the futures are instructions to/from someone. That could also be why of all things Sente lets the Futures through to the external Sentinel.

ok heres how it went down ...3 perplexian pbi agents entered the 5 of cups in a search for one of the suspects who stole the cube (in an attempt to use it for there own evil of course) as the raid occured Bernardo was going to the back of the shop an overeager agent accidently shot him as Bernardo treid to run away from the shots he was subdued and then murdered ..the shop was then ransacked to cover the pbi mistake

Is this the first article where it was a really recent event? They're stating it happened "yesterday morning", which is why I think we'd be able to get some answers by contacting people.

EDIT:

Oh! This just jumped right out at me! Look at the futures post:

The Hand (January 11 - February 10)
Stop being so frenetic; it's making me nervous. Roll on back to the bar. No eel and cucumber for you, though; it wouldn't sit right when you're so unsettled.

"Roll on back to the bar"? "No eel and cucumber for you, though" ? Perhaps the Five of Cups is a sushi bar?

Also, I did a little research, and a "Soba Tray", used for Japanese Soba Noodles, normally includes five cups....

Everything certainly points to the fact that the Perplexians reeeally like the raw fish! Maybe they don't have ovens.

Oh my god, the cube is a microwave.

Hi

Wasn't there someone else mysteriously killed recently, run over by a car. I was looking for the update thread but couldn't find it.

Also could the same technology have been used to disable the alarm that also disabled the alarms at the academy, the night the cube was taken?

If this has been said before I will consider myself done to a turn with a touch of butter, creme fresh and sprinkled chives, 10 - 15 mins at gas 7.

Blue Men exist.

Anyways... something I noticed immediately... Holyoke is a college. Probably nothing important, but caught my eye.



No one said that, right? I was just skimming the other pages. Sorry. Heh.[/url]

[cassandra]

heh, if I hadn't gone to UVA, I was going to attend Mount Holyoke, actually.

More interestingly, to me, is the Holyoke basalt formation that exists in that area. It contains pyroxene and plagioclase, two minerals found on Mars/the moon/outer space. *ponders again what the cube is made of*
