This could be nothing, but I noticed a spelling error...

Ecclesiastes 5:2
Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.

Proverbs 18:2
A fool does not delight in understanding, But only in revealing his own mind.

The new international version for Proverbs 18:2 reads "A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions." Just in case...

Thanks for the finds - updated.

How do we 'solve' the pages of text and get the username and password, I wonder.

The text looks like sleeve notes for albums, but it doesn't seem to be googlable.

The <br>s are in funny places in the text - I wonder if that's significant.

It could be significant that there are 6 of Orwell's rules and 6 album reviews. Maybe they correspond somehow. I tried applying the first rule to the first review, second rule to the second review, and so on until I decided this was probably a waste of time.

6 is a mathematically important number. two sixes are one less than the number of the beast... also, remember that there's a lot of noise (too much info) and that's why we've got so many individuals decoding individual pieces of the puzzle.

(life is a jigsaw puzzle...)

what it appears we actually need to locate first are the editorials/reviews of the albums. the "black boxes" are lyrics from songs, most likely the ones the reviews are talking about. so far, I've got the following bands, in this order:

1. get up and go reference=Hanson
2.full disclosure=fugazi
3. I don't live to please you= ...?
4. measurement= saosin (?)

for some reason, the hanson one just doesn't seem right, and I have a felling I might be wrong. mayhap we google editorials and such on albums?

spec ramblings

Maybe it doesn't have anything to do with the words. The first thing i see is "Disassociate and look for greener grass." If you remove all the words you are left with pictures. I only saw green grass on one. It's saved as jardin.jpg on this page : http://www.silverladder.com/diamonds/2d/darkhall6.htm

Maybe this will help someone else to see something and then maybe it's way off base. If it is, then I'm sorry for any confusion I caused.
