 		Well a few people who were new to ARGS accidentally mentioned some stuff to Maria once or twice, I think. It's no big deal anymore...but I don't think it's a Clockwork Orange reference. It's probably just as I mentioned, classical music being used to create relaxed environments.

Also, apparently the music in the common room is Beethoven - wild leap here, but A Clockwork Orange connection? I mean, that was about an anger management treatment, wasn't it? Has the rest of the music been identified?

(Beethoven was Alex's favourite artist in the book)

And I don't suppose either of these pieces feature?

# Opus 137: Fugue for String Quintet in D major (1817)
# Opus 138: Leonore, opera (earlier version of Fidelio, with Leonore Overture No. 1) (1807)


No, the other videos are strictly talking. This new guy was the first to add music, but that is good spec. Go to www.subject137.com and watch the other videos. Keep an eye on future videos for the music though, because you never know.

Sorry if my first post came off the wrong way--I wasn't trying to reprimand anyone, just giving a friendly reminder.

 		137.com/137
On a hunch, I e-mailed the owner of 137.com/137. A certain link he provides there caught my eye ("Brave New World"). He e-mailed me back. The last paragraph is kind of interesting.

Quote:
I just had another "137 event" today. I was in a store shopping and I
happened to see on a shelf a small pile of cardboard and plastic packets
containing numbers - brass numbers about 5 inches high, the type that
someone would attach to their house. When I first saw the packets of
numbers, I thought with a chuckle, wouldn't it be funny it they were
"137." I picked up the packets and looked through them. There were four
packets, and the numbers were ... 1, 3, 3, 7. And they were arranged in
that precise order.


I wasn't sure if he was involved with this ARG in any way, but with an e-mail like that... I don't know, it just strikes me as odd.

 		Alright I was talking to my friend Aiobhan about the morse code and she searched it up and it's multiple words and one of them is "game". Can anyone possibly get the audio from that video into mp3 format and post it so we can slow it down?

http://morsecode.scphillips.com/jtranslator.htm

put it at 400 mtz she said

 		Here's the whole e-mail:

Quote:
Me: Forgive me if this e-mail seems unusual or awkward, but if I can have a moment of your time it would be very appreciated.

Recently, a person who calls herself Maria Ail set up a website called
subject137.com. She uploads videos to this site and asks others to
investigate them. The videos focus on a man named Tom who has joined a medical study to earn some income. For the experiment's purposes, he is called - you guessed it - subject 137. Some of us are wondering if the
number itself has some significance. I read on your site that it is
quite important: both a paradox in physics and a number of great power
in Cabala. I was wondering if it holds any influence in other realms,
and if you could point me in the right direction.

Also, in one of the tapes a mysterious set of tones could be heard. I
read in the article your site links to, "Brave New World," that Randal
Schwartz once created a program that said "Just Another Perl Hacker" in
morse code. Many of us feel the tones heard in the tape are morse code
as well.

If you are interested, the website with the videos is www.subject137.com
<http>. Any input you can give is appreciated.

Him: Hello, I took a brief look-around at the website. I dunno ... sounds
like an episode of "The X Files" to me. E.g., not particularly
well-crafted fiction.

As far as the significance of the number 137, that too, well, "sounds
like an episode of "The X Files" to me. E.g., not particularly
well-crafted fiction." However, the difference is that my experiences -
physical, spiritual and metaphysical - with that number are real. I
don't really know what else to tell you.

I just had another "137 event" today. I was in a store shopping and I
happened to see on a shelf a small pile of cardboard and plastic packets
containing numbers - brass numbers about 5 inches high, the type that
someone would attach to their house. When I first saw the packets of
numbers, I thought with a chuckle, wouldn't it be funny it they were
"137." I picked up the packets and looked through them. There were four
packets, and the numbers were ... 1, 3, 3, 7. And they were arranged in
that precise order.


I thought I'd just cover the bases here with that e-mail. I guess I can't just outright ask him if he's involved, huh?

 		In other news for today
The new video and pics of videos will be shown tomorrow. Possibly pics with some relevance to the 138islate video. I'm hoping the video will mention the other person seen in 138's vid.

 		I just talked to Maria on AIM, it was quite short and to the point.

Quote:
[01:07] nobuofanXIII: Maria
[01:07] nobuofanXIII: posting the new videos?
[01:08] mariaail: Not yet. I hope to have the next one up tomorrow. Might have to wait until Sat. Hitting the bed now. Long day.


So we're looking at new vids tomorrow (today on the east coast) or Saturday. Hoping for tomorrow since I'll be out most of the weekend.

 		To me that looks like the guy from 137.com definitely has nothing to do with this.

 		Yeah, he seemed like he had nothing to do with it at all. definitely OOG. About your email to Maria Jooly, I really don't expect her to answer all those questions, especially about how they were marked but I could be wrong. I really hope she just posts a separate audio file along with the videos and pictures (if they ever showup).


According to info from Maria we should be expecting the new video and pictures tomorrow. I won't be around to see it, personally but I hope it's a nice juicy turnaround with it.
