An ARG ARG

I think there is the start of a rabbit hole on ARGN.com. I just saw it. The letters in the article make "tick,tick,tick." But not much else is known.

The picture shows a clock. Maybe something is tied into this first puzzle.

well, the picture of a clock is called kloo.jpg, for a start!

Something else, which I suspect is just fortuitous, but could be significant: the color code for the 'tick, tick' letters is C000C0 (i.e. cuckoo clock)

Time on the clock is 4:07, FWIW. Can't make out the picture very well - perhaps somebody more computer-literate could have a look, perhaps also try the clever steganographic things that baffle me.

Might I suggest a nylon rope? So much softer on the skin than traditional rope, and just as strong. Mr. Green

hasn't been mentioned, but in the source code on the countdown page there is the following text:

<!-- URL's used in the movie-->
<!-- text used in the movie-->

No idea if it's important.

good find! but, sadly, it's not important Sad

Those are things that flash puts into the page when it creates it. It's a way to make the page a bit more search engine friendly.

Oh poo, if that is true, then for PST it's gonna be, uh.....3p PST? Damn, I'm never home that early. Why would Steve post a time for Mountain if his home is in the PST?
