I got Buddhist professionals from Indonesia and China, and the letters at the bottom were
"wfzetg ih tpugimihw foqfz bva bggn esjsl.
yhi lszb idfwgp hkh njl uwksm crw."
Haven't been able to do anything with them just yet.

Also, something about
"Then I remembered half-heartedly swigging that glass of brandy three years ago, and envisioning the world-changing manifesto that I'd write someday. "Fu**," I said. "That's it!""
struck me as a little odd. Normally, people either use replace the vowel of a swearword with an asterisk, all of the word, or all except the first letter. Censoring just the last two letters is something I haven't seen anywhere. Considering that one person's name is represented as ****, does anyone think it could be significant?

How about White Young Adults from Oklahoma?

I long for exotic people in foreign lands and I get 20-somethings from the heartland? It is so bad I am humming OOOOOOOOOOOOk-lahoma and cursing Rogers & Hammerstein.

Also got the code:

wfzetg ih tpugimihw foqfz bva bggn esjsl.
yhi lszb idfwgp hkh njl uwksm crw.

Anyone notice the periods at the end of each line? Still working on it.

I've updated the Google maps/earth files, although I don't think that mapping them will help any (especially since that Indonesia and China one). KML viewable on maps is here and the updated KMZ file should be here.

Heh...my bad--dunno how I screwed that one up, but a second run-through Google's awesome calculator function supports the 200+ days assumption. I added an extra zero while doing the conversion.

Good job!
So, on the "Orders of magnitude" part...
I'm assuming that means that we'll get a new clue when the sign-up counter hits... 1,000?
It's currently at 963
