Can you put those translations to the english tabs in a table on the wordpress page? Maybe one too for the exclamation emphasis on the words - might be easier for the brain to process looking left to right rather than up to down and back up.

Which leads me to another one...

Brain pattern processing. So we can process ahead of time to "already" interpret what we see, which is the gist of why we over look typos and subtle things....and after 3 times seeing anything or hearing it, the pattern imprint is registered in the brain so we draw from this stored base every future time we see the same pattern, and unless it is something large, the brain economizes and usually we sail right over stuff. This very thing seems to be taking place on both sites....we notice the subtle rotation and every time we look it's interpreted as the same as it was last time....the jarring was when they move faster, this is new input for the brain....so our attention is drawn to it so we can "process" basically.

So look at it as layers of a sort - the stuff that is obvious, that you can't help see right off, and then a layer beneath it for the incidentals.

Interesting. So did the music ever not play on the Downloads page? Was it a temporary glitch? Or maybe it just depends on what browser you use. Hmmm.

It may be worth noting that the Slusho Slogan "You Can't Drink Just Six" is a play off the Lay's Potato Chip slogan "Betcha can't eat just one" which is still being used.

Let me ask the Web Gurus an HTML design question.

Why would you put an non-breaking space code (" ") on a line all by itself between two image files? Meaning that you have one image file on top, the non-breaking space code, then an image file below that.

Wouldn't you use line break codes ("<br>") to separate the images instead?

To see what I'm talking about, click on one of the downloadable desktop images, then view the source of that page.

K for the record, there is no music on the download page either for me.

Also, for the record, I click on the images to download and the instructions page - in the source is another urchintracker....so they're wanting to see who's there too. Why? In a meta sense, to download the images....but is there anything to them?

This is probably not important, but with ARGs, you can never be sure.

Everywhere on the site it says 'You can't drink just six' except on the history page, where it's 'Bet you can't drink just six' like, a statement, then a challenge.

That brings even more attention to the history. hm...

You have a valid argument for everything except, Lovecraft was a literary visionary. I won't get into an argument over that, though, as this is not the place.

I'm thinking all this talking and screenshotting and whatnot has evolved into mental masturbation. (can i say that in that context on here?)

I think we should sit and wait for something more obvious to be made apparent, rather that expend all this energy over details that have already been scrutinized.

Just an opinion.

or you could take the term whale as a metaphor, not at face value. So Noriko is called the Littlest Whale because she drinks so much (let's say she's addicted to drinking, whether it is alcohol or any other liquid, it does mention libations though).

So in his dream a Whale comes along in his dream. It could be Noriko, or it could be another "whale". But assuming "whale" means somebody who loves to drink a lot, this character loves to drink. Ganu, being a small fish, drinks some, but not an excessive amount. Upon drinking this substance, he gets hooked. He keeps drinking it more and more, and turns into a whale, somebody who likes to drink a ton.

Using this metaphor, the substance they found deep in the ocean could be a highly addictive substance, not a mutation causing godzilla wrath causing element.

I do think that the fact that it had to be kept almost frozen means something. Well for 1 it means it's a liquid, but what else?

All just theory to help spur alternate kinds of thoughts. Hopefully some good will come out of it. You have to admit, that history story is really cryptic.

Lame duck?

I think "whale" is an intentionally amusing term for "became fat".

If you don't think a slumbering tentacled sea monster who's been disturbed by humans and goes on a rampage is Lovecraftian...I don't know what to tell ya. Go read The Call of Cthulhu.

as previously noted, that explains the fiery objects that fly out after the explosion.
