Finally - something new!

"The cause" could be a reference to a 'green' organization; but, it could also be a reference to the Watchmen theory - Tagruato or some group Teddy is associated with causing the monster attack to unite the world against an unknown enemy threat, etc. etc. Could be either is all I'm sayin'

Also, what's the thing behind her in the video on the right side of the frame - on her bedside table, behind Teddy's present, and beneath the light switch and framed quote or bible passage or whatever. It's blue and has two horizontal 'arms' - is it a lamp? what is it?

EDIT: Also, what's on the wall just above the light switch? I didn't notice that in previous videos. Looks like a religious symbol...? Something to do with Wicca maybe?

I agree...the cause (or Teddy) may not be as noble as people think. I don't think we should assume Teddy is working for the greater good or some green/eco/save the whales organization...Teddy could be the more mad scientist type who has an ulterior motive.

I believe what you're referring to is an oil lamp on her right-hand bedside table... it's one of those ones which traditionally have two glass shades, a clear 'funnel' which can be seen there and a frosted diffuser which is missing... the metal support for the diffuser are the 'arms'.

As for the symbol... no idea, I don't believe it's appeared in previous videos.

I was noticing the thing above the light switch too... it looks like a dried corsage (like from prom or something?) or maybe some angel/dragonfly wall-hanging?? This is the first time we've gotten this wide of a shot and these things have appeared, btw, all the other videos don't show this much of the wall or what looks like a smoke detector.

I second on the oil lamp, you can see it in video #2.

EDIT: IS that a light switch? It looks more like a doorbell to me, but it does seem to be a logical place for a light switch.

I think it's a light switch - it's one of those rotating dimmer switches/knobs.

EDIT: And, maybe it's actually "the Cos" - Teddy's a huge Bill Cosby fan!

Yeah, looks OOG, but what a coincidence that "glass helmets" would bring up info on deep sea dive helmets. Isn't there speculation that Teddy could be on the Chuai drilling station (I've speculated this).

This site may not be related, but I wonder if there is something out there (another site related to deep sea exploration) that ties into "glass helmets'.

Chikyu

I'm sure this is OOG, but I guess this is pretty similar to the kind of site we are looking for?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
that's a really interesting site. Of course it's OOG, but it's a great source of info. - a real model for fake Tagruato. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if whoever invented the backstory for Tagruato didn't do some research into companies/sites just like this one. Kick ass!

I agree! And the main site for the "Kids" section screams slusho.jp... i'm sure there are lots of sites like this to look for. (There are loads of links to other drilling companies and such to be found on the site)

Edit : BTW, the name of the Garbanzos chef isn't Matsumuro right?

I think that might be a bit of a stretch. That doesn't really seem to be in the same style as the Slusho. And I know you're not saying it is definitely, all I'm saying is that it feels a little off to me.

My bet is unimportant
It's "universe" information

That seems important for the sole fact that it's awkward and rarely would you "which is your favorite band" afterwards, almost as if it's in excuse or they wouldn't know it.



I'd say that's "letting the audience know some information they didn't" ... I was watching The Sniper with a Vietnam vet, at one point there's a speech something like
Quote:
Sargeant Wilson, I'm presenting you with the Awesome Award, which is the highest award that the Army can bestow

and the vet started laughing, because anyone in the Army would know that, "It doesn't make sense to say that, no one would say that."

Then I pointed out that as a civilian, I did not know that.

I'm gonna preface this by saying that by the time i finished typing this, a whole new page of posts showed up, so this is a little behind.
A) Worst striptease ever. Got my hopes up and everything...lol. If Hanssen didn't have a reason to break up with her before, that cocktease video should do it. Laughing
B)There's also www.thecauseusa.com... but its almost for sure OOG, IMO. I do think she's talking about "The Cause", as opposed to "the cause".

Gamejack Alert! There is *now* a Glass Helmets myspace profi

Now there's a blank page on myspace
http://www.myspace.com/theglasshelmets

Thinking it's a jack, since it's creation is concurrent with the vid and its blank.

So we should investigate and make sure it's a fake... it's super new, recently created, on 11/12/2007, the day of the new vid announcement, and *after* you guys said one did not exist.

Future Trout!
