It does deserve looking into. Don't just dismiss it. I can see it too. No just a profile of the face, but even some shading involved (the cheek bone and eye socket) that give it a 3d texture.


I'm not dismissing it, but the point I was making in my post above is that the problem with clouds is that if you look long enough, you can see loads of things in them. They're famous for it. So hiding clues in clouds is really risky.

I'm not saying there's no clue there, but without having something to look for, we wouldn't know if we found it.

Sure it looks like a face, but what do we get from it?

have you ever seen those pictures that are actually two images, and depending on your personality, you're only meant to see one? I think we're looking at the clouds when we should be looking at the sky, but that's just my thought.

Sometimes the glass is neither half full nor half empty. Sometimes the glass is just too big.

I don't see anything.

or sometimes the glass is love.. ;)

I personally still think that the cloud in the upper left is the grinch, or the hand of god with smoke coming from the finger tips.. :)

I quized my gf on the picture (fresh eyes).. She claims she saw the letters 't,i,z' in the top cloud, but thought maybe the z was a 2 also.
After she walked away, I cropped that part and flipped it (180deg), and showed it to her again as if it was a new picture, she still saw the letters immediately and noted they were upside down. Maybe its cuz shes a graffiti fan, so she sees things differently, I can't personally see the letters, I see shapes that may be inconsistent but they don't appear as letters to me..

As for the cloud in the lower right hand corner, the more I look at it, the more it looks out of place, but I'm sure if I walked outside right now I could see a similar looking 'fake cloud'..

so yeah..

just a theory...

In the silvia files Scratch (if i remember right) says the spike was from a thunderstorm in Redland

Beth is in redland, and puts up a link titled "What Went Wrong?"

This leads (via an ambiguous, hidden link) to a picture of a clear sky.

or maybe not.

Beth made an online appearance on the Matrix Forum

Beth made an online appearance on the matrix forum I will add the conservation after I edit it for content but this one message stood out from the whole conversation. Can not valid the source.


Beth, if there are plagues, who is the Moses?

Who is the Pharoah?

More important: Who is "my people"?

You've got to wonder what the reaction would be if the Beth character did look around the forums.

Most of her life is splayed about for all to ponder, her metadex is disected, her web site practically dismantled, all communication with her is being analysed and there's the speculation about her and Phillip, as well as guy she had the thing for in the past.

You think she's paranoid now? Razz

WE are the machine Cool

Side Note: Is 21 replies good going for a website with just a picture and nothing else?

Nice, I'll start up a new thread about this. I'll go over to the Matrix forum to check it out. BRB.

If you flip the picture horizontally in grayscale the letters actually appear to be s c r. now flip the picture vertically and look at the same cloud. It looks like Edvard Munch's The Scream.[/b]

IF this is ingame it does raise an interesting concept...there is alot of bibical symbolism in the movie so if you think about it the peeps that are not unplugged are the Jews being held by Egypt..
the machines are stern taskmasters and instead of the buildings being built with straw and mud they are being built with flesh and bone.

Well, I stared at it for a long time and then I remembered someone saying the answer might be in the sky itself. Anyway I just kept looking everywhere. I saw faces all over the place, not just lower right. So either I'm grasping for straws or I'm onto something. But that's not waht this post is about.

It's about what I saw in the sky itself. IT'S TURNING GREEN!



See right in the middle. Just subtle green patches here and there. Maybe there's something written there.

I think you've been staring at it a little too long. Help me out, niobe, I'm just not seeing it. Or faces, or anything else but clouds and sky.

Well, I was looking more closely at the supposed letters found in the clouds, and after screwing around with a couple contrast and levels settings in Photoshop, it looked to me like the clouds spelled out "2ct"

I attached a picture of the section of cloud, rotated and blown up, with my highlighted interpretation of the section under it.

I googled 2ct, zct, 2rt, 2ct, and a few other possible interpretations, and I didn't find anything really significant. I'm probably just looking into this way too much, but I think it's always a good idea to search for clues in things as small as this.

Any ideas?

EDIT: The attachment's not working, go here

well, 2ct may be 2cents, or 2count.. Caeser posted that image earlier that was a 1c postage stamp.. I tried looking for directories on thenekodas, 2468, 2ct, 2cnt, 2count, 2c, etc in both the root and images directory.. also tried prefixes with .jpg extension.. nothing :-/ I hope this image is about somthing.. If it is, I think we are heading in the right direction

I'm not saying that I can see any green myself, but this remark reminded me of Beth's last email. In it, there's mention of the sky turning green just before a house collapsed.

Keeping that in mind, could this image simply be a forewarning of sorts? A warning that something significant is about to happen at this site?
