[PUZZLE] October 1 pic at paintover [CONTINUED]

Did a search and came up with the following link http://www.twin-music.com/lyrics_file/alice/special/skeleton.html.

Any Connection?

*edit*

Sorry for posting this in a new topic, however, I thought that the other thread was getting a bit crowded. Mods, feel free to move this if you wish.

No this is good. The other one was "DONE"

"Eye See" BONES??

I See RED BONES?

If this is correct with the alice cooper reference. Or just a coincidence.

Hi Folks,

I've been following this board for a while and would like to complement you all on the fantastic job you are all doing !

A while ago it was discovered that the sites murpha.com and lifeandcasualty.com exist. While murpha.com has become active. I was just wondering whether the October 1st picture on paintover might have some relevance to the username, password, directory and filenames of the lifeandcasualty.com site?

The girl could represent life and the skeleton/robot/b166er representing casualty. Just a thought.

Sorry if i've posted this in the wrong area. I'm sure i'll get the hang of this in no time.

I have search on similar subjects with no success, any ideas?

Taking the Alice Cooper "I See Bones" into consideration, ive tried username =alice
password =bones

with no success. However i'm certain that this has something to do with it. Good Job Folks.

Cheers

Raven

Perhaps Alice (Beth? maybe) has seen the skeletons in the closet (Metacortechs).

[SPEC] Alice would fit with "Alice in wonderland" (Beth?) and also in the lyrics there was all that stuff about skeletons everywhere...

[EDIT]: Even though I wrote that this is probably a better conclusion.

Nope, we are all haunted by that picture. that's just a chandelier.

I saw it and thought, 'What if the directory was something like .../closet/skeletons/ (for 'skeletons in the closet'). And the user would be like Alice and password eyeseered or icyred ...

I think I've been staring at the screen too much today...Wink

I'm still worried about the fact that we are looking for directory, user, and password on a website, while in fact when the picture was posted there were no folders.

The first picture that lead us to FTP was after that, which clearly had the letters highlighted on the folders.. and I think the original plan was to stay on FTP.. so what else could the alice pic lead us to if was not a folder and it was before ftp?

Think back.. what did we know on that day.. not much.. not many sites.. can the alice cooper idea fit into something else?

I'm not so sure Alice Cooper fits with the rest of the hacker posts... The only alternative I can think of is back to the old theory that the October 1 paintover is a "welcom" picture... like Caesar saying "Hi guys, I can see all of your boxes online. Lets start doing this thing"...

I know that would be heartbreaking because of all of this effort, but still...

Another thought I had....

This goes back to my days in Latin class. In ancient Rome, there were no J's, only I's. Therefore Julius Caesar would be Iulius Caesar. Eye See = I C = Iulius Caesar. Maybe....

Did you guys know that in 2002 a movie came out called Eye See You? Apparently it was so bad it went directly to video...and it has nothing to do with children, except for (according to one reviewer) being so bad that you'd rather pick scabs off a small child with chicken pox. I think that's a direct quote. Maybe that's the directory! Chicken pox! Anyway...here's a link if you guys want to check it out...

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/EyeSeeYou-1118081/

An actress named Dina Meyer was in it...

Also, googling for "eye see" brings up a link to this project, which is being done at the University of Illinois in Chicago...or UIC! Seriously, that's how they abbreviate it themselves.

I think it's a sign of desperation that those two links look somewhat promising to me.

[Edit] Something else I found. You guys have to see this.

Yeah, and did you see all the "E e e eee eeeeee"? This man hears his inner dolphin! I have absolutely no idea what it is (it's under "false facts" on the main page, huh?), but that last frame just cracked me up...it's either a joke, or written by someone who ought to be in a mental institution...or both...

[Edit] Ooh, and Check this out It's like halfway down the page, just search for "eye." Got some interesting links...and the patient's name is Phillip. Very Happy It kind of reminds me of anomalies...
