There seems to be something on the background of the image in /style. I'm not sure if it's just a background or something else...

It looks like a face - possibly a woman's
Oh, and the loading has been slow for me too, and I'm on IE

When i opened it, it took ages to load but came up eventually. (I use IE too)
The woman in the picture looks like she's singing IMO.
EDIT: the backgound pic is the same for both /power and /style
EDIT2: the 'wrong' thing in /style is a missing word after the first 'my' in the last sentence:

I sent the letter to the historian at 2pm EST on 04-Oct-2005. I agree with Nep2ne that it probably opened Power (it makes sense because of the purple line).

The background is taken from the cover of FF's new album, "You Could Have It So Much Better"
Here's a better view of the background for comparison:

It doesn't help that the background images are huge. While they are JPGs, they don't seem to use any compression. The images could easilly be 25% in filesize while still looking the same.
... unless... there is something hidden in the images ...

Huh... looks like this for me... or were you modifying the image to make the face easier to see?

I think that first 'my' is a (possibly intentional?) typo.
I 'spect it reads:
"The only things not metal in me are my heart and brain..."

That was the idea, yes.

Ah ha! So that's what the intentional error was.. nice work finding it.

[UPDATE] fallingintime/style/ ::stabs self::
Nevermind. Post deleted.
www.fallingintime.com/style
is open. Someone should've posted it in this thread, too.
(note: I moved this post out of the trailhead thread, so it probably makes no sense in this context. Oh well. -- catherwood)

There's another possibility: that "my" is not the typo, but that the word "body" is missing, i.e. "the only things not metal in my BODY are my brain and my heart."

Not necessarily intentional... there have been many typos in this game so far (one of my pet peeves ), not least of which was the mis-spelling of jewelers (both on one of the pages and in the url of the murphyjewlers page). I wouldn't read too much into it.

As that was one of the first things I tried (I'm lying...it was the only thing I tried) I can tell you that neither of these work: body and shell
And getting silly: existence, soul, appearance
At least they don't work, YET. You know how this goes.
