Re: EHWW
Proof EHWW isn't tied to 1-18-08

Hi all ~ I've been lurking since the beginning and I just wanted to point out absolute proof (in my mind) that EHWW/EHWR and 1-18-10.com *aren't* tied together.

On EHWR, the latest post is in a bunch of sanskrit. Here's the translation:

Entry dated Sunday, 8 July

How easily humanity is mislead...
We the Mezin never expected your kind might be so easily distracted, that all may be lead by one down the muglgarden(?) path, that your eyes and minds would be so easily clouded.
You point to a date in the future that means nothing to our cause or your future...
Only 8-1-07 matters to our cause...

We have been here since manking fought with sticks and bones, your technology may have improved but can the same be said for the human mind?
Most sterly(?) a wily manipulator like one mentor(?) will exploit the weakness in the masses and lead you all to ruin.
Clearly there are some among you who know the truth and may even be worthy of the Mezin, who have strength of mind and will to see what trial awaits and are not distracted...
The time has come for us to reveal the methods of Haas, we have found his writing and will now expose them for the nonsense that they are...


I bolded the OBVIOUS clue that this isn't related to the JJ Abrams project.

Can we stop talking about it now? Razz


Maybe that's what they want us to think.

No, but seriously, I agree. Two seperate things, temporal coincidences aside.

I like the connection with finding satoshi...
But just don't know what to do with that. *shrug*

Well, that's good enough for me. Although they shouldn't be complaining, this got them a lot of publicity! Rolling Eyes

Find Satoshi is really very old, and most definitely out of game, but perhaps they included something from it as a possible reference...

And yeah, really bad English there. They even mispell "from" as "form"...other weird things...Blue Mitten+Swiss Cheese?

Also...

The line that no one can figure out

"has anyone seen (???)" when they're running out the building during the teaser..

I believe they are asking if anyone's seen "Jason".

Does "Rob" look a little too calm to anyone else when they are running down the stairwell?? I think he knows something Cool

maybe no one?

has anyone considered that maybe no one in the preview is going to be in the movie? i cannot really remember off hand but i know there have been movies wherein the scenario presented in the preview had little to do with the movie. What if the only really important thing is, say, the explosion on staten island (i say staten island cuz that appears to be the canon thought) and this is just a random group of peoples point of view? it is going to be shot all with handcamera so why not have a commercial filled with random people's perspective. i frankly would not be surprised if the next trailer shows us an entirely different crowd with a completely different scenario, only to be interupted by a massive explosion, thunderous roaring...and another man screaming "omg t3h lion....i mean its alive!" etc

That would be a very good and interesting point, but I've read a partial cast list and seen some of the people on it in the trailer.

Um....nope Wink We're pretty much rolling with the obvious.

I have too. Oh wait. That was the preview was the only good part of the movie, the rest sucked. n/m

This isn't likely mainly because it's been established that there are characters in it and there's a story presented, or the beginning of one. Random people don't have stories in movies - they're called extras. But it is established that whatever's happening is from this group's point of view - which is why their photos are on the 1-18-08.com site.

Again, he is not saying it's a lion. Yes it does sound like it the first time but it's been cleared up that he's saying it's alive....

Confirmed from a native speaker and various dictionaries: "ganu" has absolutely no meaning in Japanese, nor is it a proper noun (i.e., a name in this case). The Celtic meaning pointed out above is more likely, or maybe it is another part of the puzzle, or nothing.

"nu" is a rare letter in Japanese, kind of like X or Q in English.

Did anyone notice that the slushos on the slusho site, there's like two groups, 9 on the left, 8 on the right. Since there's two groups.. 9x2 is 18, and 08 on the other side.

ok so that joke at the end wasn't as clear as i hoped it was...sorry. i know he says its alive....i was alluding to the few people who continually insist that he might have said "its a lion" you must forgive me for not being clear.
