However, as I had mentioned a few pages back, dozens of web sites show many of these some phrases on their webpages. And these are websites that would not be in a foreign language (a rodeo, US Gov website, etc.)

Or else, it is my computer with a virus that is displaying all of these phrases.

I have .pdfs of the weird websites, but I don't want to take the chance of infecting anyone. If you want to see for yourself, do a google search of "morbi vestibulum" (one of the phrases from the blog.)


There are ALOT of them aren't there? I too hope it is nothing.........but I am not gonna be surprised if it is something!

While we wait to hear what is happening:

We've all been having withdrawal symptoms, and now we have a real life challenge dropped in our laps. Has anyone translated the whole sinister message yet?

 		Covet site...
Hey guys...I just logged into the Covet site without any problems. I read the blog (which looks normal to me) and didn't see any of the latin and other languages you are talking about. I have no idea what is going on, but I'm sure everything will be ok. Anyone heard any official word on it yet??? I took a screenshot and I hope I can post it...I'm going to try...LOL...

 		I'm not having any problems with myspace but I am with the rest of you in not being able to log into the Covet site.

I don't see the jibberish Latin mess, but I do see challenge 9 underneath the heading Challenge 10. Weird, weird, weird.

If you scroll through the blog posts it is near the bottom.............also look at all of the dates! One of them says 1994.

 		Ok, I saw the gibberish/latin stuff. Can anyone say creepy?

Has anyone clicked on the white words that say "click to go to google?" Just wondering what happens

 		It goes to Google. Confused

[edit] To be more specific-it goes to the Google search homepage. Don't know why. Kinda weird.

 		Earlier this evening, when I tried to go to the Covet site I clicked the url in my history list and it took me straight to google news. Wonder if that is connected to the weirdness (don't care if that is or isn't really a word).

 		Anyone else notice that when you click around the site on the bottom it sometimes says "transferring data from CaseoftheCovetedBottle.com", and other times it says "transferring data from hugo.wddg.com"? I wonder if this hugo website has something to do with it. Unless of course it always said that and I just never noticed it before.
