 		Is there a mirror site of aquapolis (I'm very lame and don't even really know what that means)? But (as has been mentioned countless times), < ( = : | : = ) > suggests a mirror. Also, : = ) is like a smiley, or you could have a smiley with a goatee : = ) > lol

 		This is pure speculation, but the file cabinet could refer to the archives on Little-Boxes. There are a great many directories there, and the URL paths under the "archives" folder go down several layers. For instance:

http://www.little-boxes.net/archives/
http://www.little-boxes.net/archives/KnowledgeBase/
http://www.little-boxes.net/archives/KnowledgeBase/attachments/

The Grabbing Internet Files (GIF) may refer to attached images in the knowledge base. Maybe some of the deleted documents have/had attached images? Maybe there are hidden files or folders? Of course, this is all unfounded--just speculation.

Archive #58 is supposed to have an attachment, but doesn't.

 		.cab Files
I'm wondering, if you guy's know that .cab files are called cabinet files. Maybe we should look after them and then extract them to see whats inside

 		Has anyone tried altering the color of the original paintover pic. My thought is that only the little girl's eyes are in color, the remainder being in black and white. Perhaps making the entire pic in color will help us to "see"?

Also, the pic appears to be an overlay of multiple images. Does anyone have the skill to peel back the layers of this composite to reveal the underlying images?

 		Alice
"Take it from the top" + the archive to previous pictures. Evidence that Caesar wants us to review the first pic which we never really cracked...Someone should probably throw it into photoshop and give Griffin's ideas a shot...

The origins of Hack and Slash are some what obscure. Rumor has it that Nigel Hack (if that is his real name) is a man with some legal troubles in a shady past that prevent him from returning to the South American country of his birth. Slash Montant is thought to be the bi-product of chemical engineering, Illuminatis conspiracy and a secret marriage between Twyla Tharp and an as yet undisclosed member of the original League of Nations. Regardless, they are the principal members of the hilarious two-man, Shakespearean, comic-swordfighting duo Hack and Slash.


This is from www.hackandslash.com. Until now, some clues were based on Shakespeare, so this one could be a clue too.

 		haven't seen this here,

"Second verse, same as the first."
Try
"Second verse, same as the 1st." As in 10/1, the date of the first paintover pic. I definitely think we are being pointed back to the eye-see/stol image.

when you read http://www.paintover.net/_cpy/index.rdf

anyone notice that the first day is Oct 1, the Next Oct. 5, The Current Oct. 9, every 4 days. so the next would be the 13th.


Though I think your theory has merit, I'll have to disagree. I think they are releasing stuff based on our progress. Yesterday's pictures were released only after we got the 15 carelessly files. What if bizrock took a day off yesterday and started downloading only today? For sure the "Congrats" picture wouldn't be there, but I doubt that the file cabinet would, either.

Notice the TIME at which they released the new pictures - it was when the discussion of the carelessly files themselves slowed down, and people started saying stuff like "oh, there have to be more files there." I was there when it happened and just finished saying that if there were more files/clues/whatever, they'd let us know.

We'll see if we get anywhere with the new pics before the 13th; but I also think something will happen tomorrow at 8 pm (but whose time? Redland time?).
