 		Assuming ParafFun produces and distributes Paraffin wax..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraffin

Quote:
Paraffin wax

* Candle making
* Coatings for waxed paper or cloth.
* Food-grade paraffin wax
o is used in some candies to make them look shiny. Although edible, it is nondigestible; it passes right through the body without being broken down.
o Non-food grade paraffin wax can contain oils and other impurities which may be toxic or harmful.
o Magic Shell
o Coating for many kinds of hard cheese, like Edam cheese.
o Sealing jars, cans, and bottles.
* A key component in wax used for investment casting.
* As anti-caking, moisture repellent, and dustbinding coatings for fertilizers.
* Preparing specimens for histology.
* Solid propellant for hybrid rocket motors.
* In dermatology, as an emollient (moisturiser).
* Surfing, for grip on surfboards as a component of surfwax.
* The primary component of glide wax, used on skis and snowboards.
* For use on handrails and cement ledges to dramatically reduce friction for grinding, commonly used in a sport called skateboarding.
* Microwax[1] as a food additive, a glazing agent with E number E905.
* The paraffin test is used in forensics to detect nitrates and nitrites on the hand of a shooting suspect.
* Blends of paraffin and micro waxes in rubber compounds as anti-ozonant agent, to prevent cracking of the rubber. The antiozonant waxes can today be produced from synthetic waxes, FT wax, and Fischer Tropsch wax.
* Mechanical thermostats and actuators, as an expansion medium for activating such devices.[8]
* "Potting" guitar pickups, which reduce microphonic feedback caused from the subtle movements of the pole pieces

* Mixtures of mostly paraffin wax are used in wax baths for beauty and therapy purposes.

* The wax used by Crayola, and is a thickening agent in many Paintballs

 		Ok on the TAGRUATO website, when you look at the interactive map with the oil rigs. Whenever you click on a name of an oil rig, a few random characters flash by then it spells out the name of the rig. I was able to freeze frame my overhead projector (Im at work) and Before the name Suinin Station came up, it flashed these characters

<%HJ((:<JU`&(W

This look like anything?

 		I just did the one for JIMMU STATION and got these characters

_!!U&:(K_O&%

Seems random except just like the last one, you have to press SHIFT down to type all of these characters

 		I didnt purposely put the smiley in there the command for it was in the random sequence. So I feel that this is nothing, the only signifigance I get, is that they are all SHIFT characters

 		I don't know if you guys realize, but with Colby's connection with Rob, this is now, OFFICIALLY, an ARG.

 		Being a very big and wealthy company, you'd expect them to employ someone to update their site more frequently. The newest station was opened in Sept. Thats been and gone. I'd have expected them to have updated it to say something new by now, or indeed a headline detailling an opening ceremony.

I'm guessing the next update or a future update will report on mysterious finds on the newest station and their sister companies the scientific one researching into it.

If you like... I think I could organise a meeting with Ganu... lucky for you we're pretty close.


How close are Rob and Ganu exactly? Do they actually know each other?

It's a fairly blatant statement indicating that they have some sort of formidable relationship... Wink
@ least as far as Rob's work is considered.

Either they have, @ the least, a semi intimate working relationship or Rob's a liar. Crying or Very sad

Did Rob actually misspell "organis(z)e" in his response Rolling Eyes ...if so, doesn't seem as far off for him to misspell paraf(F)un. Razz

Nice work BTW Colby...

Still doesn't seem like a solid ARG...
It seems safer to say...

How cool would it be if a few days before the films opens there is a blog on the TAGRUATO site about the drill rig having...problems


I can see that happening. Or at least small hints of it, slowly building over time. You know, first it mentions a few problems, then maybe mentions mechanics coming in or something. Then in the morning it says there is a massive disaster. Who knows?


I was thinking more with the lines of Rob knows something with problems at the station....here is my speculation about the beginning of the movie......maybe....

Rob gets called into emergency meeting while at work at Tagruato, says he know Ganu so might be pretty high up. There is an emergency SOS message from new station. Short but someone calling for help maybe roar is heard in background, maybe some video with something seen but can't be determined what, or someone saying it's/something's attacking, . No one knows what is going on Rob is at work late trying to figure out spin for press release next day whatever. They don't knw so claim industrial accident, but Rob has his suspicions since he saw the video transmission. Cut to Rob gettting to surprise party late, having fun blah blah blah.....all of a sudden roar that he heard over emergency SOS from station he's like crap something bad is going to happen...........

Only if you believe that Colby is telling the truth, which some people don't...

FWIW, I believe this is a HOAX.

...and since it probably IS a hoax after all, then colbyrook just cluttered up about 10 pages of one of the most important threads on 1-18-08 with useless junk.

Maybe we should start tagruato.jp's thread fresh to ditch this useless hoax.
