This is kind of a long shot and completely off topic, but does anybody have an account set up to comment on www.gizmodo.com or www.kotaku.com? If so I would like to get a recomendation please.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Where Jacques Sauniere was found: The denon room
And
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Sentince that uses all letters of the alphabet: pangram

If you're having a problem finding the right search string for the last part of today's puzzle (And it is the same one I got), try:

"Museo Nazionale del Palazzo di Venezia"

"palazzo di venezia, rome", worked for me in Google Earth (you have to include the city or it goes to venice).
The Greek Cross is pretty obvious from there.

I see the greek cross and I am clicking on it, but nothing is hapening other than it telling me it is the wrong location.
EDIT: nevermind I got it now.

Challenge 13 (after doing the symbol sudoku). It asks me to translate volo from Latin.
I wish (wrong)
I want (wrong)
I would like (wrong)
so I thought perhaps they meant Italian:
flight (correct)
Not a good advert for their translation service (although who wants to translate Latin into English via SMS messaging?).

I also got a 'translate from Italian', but who uses SMS messaging when there's http://babelfish.altavista.com/?

After clicking about every pixel of Rome, I can't find a Greek Cross. I can see what could be seen as one in a grassy knoll in the top-left, but nothing else sticks out to me. Help, please?
I owe Aliendial a drink.

Just up and slightly left of the white building(s) in the middle of the picture. The Palazzo is the bulding on the SW corner of that block but the cross actually centers on the entire block. It's a shadowy overlay and has a circle around it too. You'll kick yourself when you see it. If you click right on the Palazzo it rejects; shift up to the right, more at the center of the block.

For those who like help/tips/or easy answers, I stumbled across this site while looking for answers the other day:
http://www.googlefact.blogspot.com/
He's pretty much going to post all the puzzles except the last one. So, if you get totally stuck you could check that out for now. Although, it probably won't help in the long run...

Now then, this is more our kinda puzzle, decoding stuff.
Mine used Atbash . Never heard of it personally, but didn't prove too hard to investivate.
