 		[UPDATE] New messages from the kidnapper and the MFD
Attached is the .jpg, which you can also find on ARGTalk. Apparently they received it along with a message saying 'put this on your site or else'.

There is also a new .swf from the MFD, but I can't download it

 		Text on the first frame of the flash file:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

"1 = 1 + 3 | 6 to the second | unlucky + 1"

1 = 1 + 3 | 6^2 | 13 +1

1 = 4 | 36 | 14

so what operator do we consider | to be - bitwise or?

00000001 = 00000100 | 00100100 | 00001110

but that would make the right hand 00101110 = 46?

 		On the IRC we were speccing it might indicate timezone|minute|hour, which would make it gmt+3 14:36 (or 2:36 pm)

EDIT: minor math error, changed it from 13 to 14 (unlucky+1)

 		The .swf file is a computer-voice over a video of what looks like a toy castle. Here is a transcript of what the voice over says:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Liars and obsessions and players, oh my!
How far into the rabbit hold do we honestly want to go?
You have given me the perfect opportunity,
and now I will give you exactly what you want


Also, regarding the ransom note, I'm not sure it'll help but, perhaps we should analyze where the letters come from.

 		FWIW, the popup book The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland are both worked on by Robert Sabuda.
Weird.

 		Does anyone else know why we keep seeing this arrow? On "The Return of the MFD" pic (as well as the swf that first showed it, we say the "Black Arrow with Move" cursor on it. You can now see it on this SWF as well. Any specs as to why this cursor is so important? And what programs do you see it on?
