After reading the FIRST spoiler, I immediatly had the answer....then I read the second spoiler and found it was QUITE different....

Taken in order:
Front of Birthday: B
Whole of one: ONE
Mister take the middle: S (yes, that's the bit that I'll concede falls a bit to pieces)

Giving you: BONES

Clue #5 STONES/BONES

**Posted:** Thu Dec 05, 2002 1:48 am

The Rev mentioned the word "code" in reference to his previous journal entry. Although most of it looks like your standard *asdf*, there are certain atributes that stand out to me and that I've been fiddling with (to no avail...yet...lol)

For this part all that really stands out at me is the capital SDN
...and I traveledto the city of asdfasdf09832qq5sjsf avbzx9y8209yhlnf ;sdofklj23-4riwqef
0sdoifhSDNf.n23r[02prfmsd,lfmasdf

For the second part what stands out at me are the placements of the *u*. And the fact there seems to be spacing and possibly punctuation.

Maybe it signifies the beginning/end of a line that is decipherable.
I'm not counting the *l;kn;ln* because the keys are very near each other much like *asdf*.

l;kn;ln809459u45ijsdbf9-fuj3rsad'fk sdlkfnaegv34rthqwf
vasoidfja092u 34234u
sdjf aposdq2409u5asdfasfasf
aosdfi0 asdf-[asudf09u23
fsdas0d9fj023ewf

Kind of like a cryptoquote.

So we have:

*u*45ijsdbf9-fuj3rsad'fk sdlkfnaegv34rthqwf vasoidfja092*u*
*u*sdjf aposdq2409*u*
*u*23fsdas0d9fj023ewf

Take the numbers out:

ijsdbf fuj rsad'fk sdlkfnaegv rthqwf vasoidfja
sdjf aposdq
fsdas d fj ewf

With only the numbers:

1st passage
0983259820923-402302

2nd Passage
809459459-33409234234240950-09230923

As well as 2X, 45, 50

I don't know...just fiddling.

On ROT-21, although I don't have them grouped as a word, the first 4 letters and the last 4 letters are:

DENY..... EZRA (as in pharmaceuticals)

Actually this kind of garbled text also appeared in the chat with Selene when she was "possessed". I don't think it's code of any kind, just random noise to indicate that the journal was taken over by the big creepy evil thing. Read the text in between the garble as being from someone else other than the Rev, and you'll see what I mean.
