Searching for Bobby Fisher


No - waco kid played chess, with Sheriff Bart, in Blazing Saddles.
I think it's another dead end.

 		Known hidden directories at NRU
OK, at the request of LazarusLong, I'm posting all of our known sites in one place, for easy reader reference, and for the Trail. I'll keep it updated as we find more (assuming we do), either by editing this post, or dropping them all in a new topic...

Quotes were found in Reggie's email/blog from the following movies:
1. Hackers
2. The Princess Bride
3. Blazing Saddles
4. Signs

Relentless searching yielded the following...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

http://www.nru.us/hackers/
"Now look deeper."

http://www.nru.us/hackers/theprincessbride/
"Close. You're going to need a bigger boat."

http://www.nru.us/hackers/vizzini/
(Vizzini is a character from The Princess Bride)
"Almost there..."

http://www.nru.us/hackers/vizzini/blazingsaddles/
"Stay on target.."

http://www.nru.us/hackers/vizzini/blazingsaddles/signs/
So far this is the money shot. Contains a link to turgenev1.jpg.

http://www.nru.us/hackers/fezzik/
(Fezzik is a character from The Princess Bride)
"He said to meet him back where we started."

http://www.nru.us/hackers/vizzini/mongo/
(Mongo is a character from Blazing Saddles)
Contains the binary code "0100111001001111" over and over. When split in half, converted to decimal, you get two ASCII codes, which then convert to the message "NO", over and over.

http://www.nru.us/hackers/vizzini/wacokid/
(The Waco Kid is a character from Blazing Saddles)
"He liked to play chess."

http://www.nru.us/hackers/miraclemax/
(Miracle Max is a character from The Princess Bride)
"Argle Bargle? Glop Giff?"
(addlepated confirmed this is a typical MUD error response, so don't read too much into this)

http://www.nru.us/hackers/westley/
(Westley is a character from The Princess Bride)
This returns a blank HTML page, with no title, but since that's different than a 404 error, we're including it for posterity.

 		What I find interesting is that the "money shot" path has mixed character names and movie titles. I wonder if the unidentified quotes need to be identified and mixed in there, and the path will eventually be all titles or all character names.

The links that talk about time travel and such mention both black and white holes. could mean something.

The first sentence is also in that link.


Red Giants.

**EDIT***
White Dwarf
Black Hole

 		The Wesley page has been moved to Westley. Both Westley and Miracle Max pages do not have "A Bit" in the title.

While reading Reggie's, I saw that he mentioned Meg. Now we all know that Meg is Meghan Starkey, but isn't Meg Ryan also Sally in When Harry Met Sally? Whih all the quotes and such in the 911 call, I thought this was a bit of a fishy coincidence. Or maybe I'm just stupid Confused .
