Down in that corner there, just roll your mouse back and forth and let the grass grow.

That Hello thing wasn't there before, god knows what it means...

Just go the the pastures green page like normal, and take your mouse down near to where the home sign is, and move it about and it should reveal the 'hello'...

Tried making the cows eat the grass but they won't. Picky cows.

When i saw the first screen of this I was sure the "Hello" was made up of characters forming a message, but it's just blades of grass. Dissapointing...

Sorry, wasn't very clear.
Simply move the mouse SLOWLY around in that general area, and you'll see little green 'shoots' start to grow up out of the white background. You have to be right on them though. The mouse turns to the i'm-on-a-link hand pointer when you're over them, so you know you're in the right place.

<edit> gah, oh well </edit>

I suggest zooming in on the area of interest. the grass gows much quicker and much easier when you have the element of precision.

Would have posted this in the (now locked) Bovines Unite thread, but does anyone know what the BovinesUnite.com site is all about? Trailhead for a new ARG?

There is a full size billboard on Rt 83 promoting the site. Thought it was just some random ad and gave it no thought until the (somewhat obtuse) chain of logic sent in here by Connor made me check out the site. Looks very ARGish for sure... Confused

someone asked for the main notes of the chords from the trees. They are (from left to right):
middle C, E, G, top G, top C, top E, middle C, top G, middle C, top G, top C, E, G, G, top G

You can't play the song tune with them tho

The trees on the Pastures Green page play (from left to right)

middle C, E, top C, G, G, top G, top C, top E, G, E.

The rainbow plays in a different key, it plays B flat, top E flat, top G and top B flat (if you imagine they're in the same octave the trees are in)

Basically, all the trees play the same four notes, middle C, E, G and top C with the prominent note on top to highlight it.

Also, you can't play the milkmaid's song with the trees because she sings:

F sharp, G sharp, C, E flat, G sharp,
F sharp, F, G sharp, C, F, G sharp

Can some extract the main tune, I want it as a ringtone... Laughing beats the crazy [censored] frog any day, or the little bird!


The main tune is 108 bpm, 4/4 timing as far as I can establish and the notes are:
middle C, G, top C, G, F, G, F, E, F, E, D, E, middle C

the bass bit is C, G, C, A, B, C and the top tingly bit is C, G, C, G, C (octave higher), G, C (octave higher) with the equally spangly bit being layered over it - G F E G F E

Course, you'll need to muck about with the timings to make it into a ring tone, but you're right, beats the crazy frog, nails him to a frisbee and flings him over the Pastures Green Rainbow

Also, in the company history, the newspaper ad is really interesting. The headline is hard to read ("In a place with few parks a push to claim a cursor"?) but the picture itself - seems to be in an urban plaza, and the building behind the cow looks a bit like thet building across the street from the one from which the postcard 'balcony' picture was made (I had to lighten it up a lot to see this, tho)


I've been looking at this, and it just doesn't seem to read 'cursor' for me, though I can't think of an alternative. Anyone else?
