once I figured out wasnt from the new clue, I took the letters that were in actual blank spaces & anagrammed them. we had VASASNT, which was a simple anagram to savants

I'm assuming everyone noticed that the time is one second before 6:60:60 on Feb. 9? which is 9/2/07, but I doubt that has anything to do with it. Religious themes, with the Savior thing and 666. Anybody checked correlations with what he's said to the Bible? I've tried Revalations and 666 and a few other variations but nothing yet. Oh, and I know a clue was found in this pages source code. Any of the other pages have any? I don't know how to check that out.
(btw, first post, been lurking specifically on this thread for a while. Me and my friend ALMOST had the crossword cracked.)

i cant believe i missed that redhat, nice find tho.
Well, was looking into virtues, and their corresponding sins. I went with the roman catholic virtues to tie in with the religious aspects of this ARG so far.
Patience opposes wrath
666 Represents "The Beast"
The bible however does not say who the beast is, but it is a man taken over by Satan.
or accept the mark of the beast and face the wrath of God that will come upon those who do so (Revelation 16:2)
Probably another dead end, but meh.

Bible references to 666. Obviously the most well know:
Quote:
Revelations 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
But there are also two separate references the the number (the exact same verse actually which is werid, why have a book with the same thing written twice?):
Quote:
1 Kings 10:14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold
2 Chronicles 9:13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold
And another one for 667:
Quote:
Nehemiah 7:18 [7 The number, I say, of the men of the people of Israel was this;] The children of Adonikam, six hundred threescore and seven.
I will say that the 666 number has been blown way out of proportion though. So many people have latched onto and know it as the "number of the devil", that it will be hard to change their minds in years to come. However, somewhat recent discoveries of the oldest known version of Revelations has the number of the beast written as 616. A church Father thought it was a mistake though and thus, all following versions of the bible have had 666.
Edit: Of course, since the number has been made so much a part of popular culture, I don't expect the PM to know/care about 616. So 666 may very well have some religious aspect of this arg.

Patience is listed as the sixth sin as well.
And I'm not actually sure about this one -- but on wikipedia it claims Envy as the opposite of patience.

just an aside, this history of King Solomon is told in both 1 Kings 10 and 2 Chronicles 9... so in this case, it's the same event

hey folks.
this guy has posted something new.
he's put up a link, under "who am i".
supposedly his name is Samuel Calais, and he explains some things, although he stays pretty cryptic.

Dunno if this is particularly helpful but if you put where or why in the url instead of who, you come with two identical pages that look like this: http://makeusstronger.googlepages.com/where . However, any other wrong url you put in get's you a page that looks like this: http://makeusstronger.googlepages.com/wrong . Those two are the only one's I've found that "almost work".

the reason they look different is because the sites have already been blocked out for creation in their system. The message from Google is a filler until the owner puts in his own stuff.
The 404 is for sites that actually aren't there.
