Anyone else get this song?


I got the email, but I didn't notice the song.

EDIT: As a matter of fact, there was no attachment on the email.

 		I know this is a trailhead, or part of an ongoing game, but I didn't want to start a new thread in case I missed a thread already made. Does anyone recognize this? Looks like it was sent to some of the Human Pet people:

 		I dunno how it could relate to THP so I'm leaning towards new trailhead but whoever it is has some grammar issues. Anyway I'd watch it for now.

 		Not real sure about this
Toolground e-mail
I just received the following e-mail:

Quote:
*** This e-mail was sent by someone using the free e-mailer service at http://www.toolground.com/sendmail/ ***

I'm more one for physical action... I'll let you do the math.

68+74+74+70+3a+2f+2f+66+6f+72+2d+63+68+72+79+6f+2d+6f+75+74+2d+6c+6f+75+64+2e+62+6c+6f+67+73+70+6f+74+2e+63+6f+6d+2f


My only other experience with Toolground was recently, when someone used it to aim childish insults at one of the Project Ophiuchus/LMF players. I recognize several other PO/LMF players on the recipient list, but it's too small a group to be just a blanket e-mail from the "let me know about your ARG" thread. So, I'm suspicious.

 		I got the email as well.

"Free e-mailer service"... How comforting.

*EDIT*

From the blog...

Quote:
But anyway so... Me and Nate are just checking on some files and whatnot, my first proper day on the job and I get a paper cut so I scream out "Oh bloody hell for the love of all that's fucking surreal!" And Sara McFie (the "bird") looks over at me and giggles. Big deal right? Right; except Nate tells me she also licked her lips when I wasn't looking - I think he's yankin my chain but I'll soon find out.


Could this be related to the vampire one, whatever the hell that one is?

 		I don't know where this belongs
I just got this awhile ago and I don't know what game thread it belongs in. So, I'm posting it here hoping someone will recognize where it belongs.

 		Scott Sigler, a podcast novelist with a major book release coming out in a few weeks, made the following cryptic post on his blog.

Game, teaser, or merely messing with his fans?

I just felt compelled to give a link to the actual blog post:
http://www.scottsigler.com/print/1094
or
http://www.scottsigler.com/node/1094

(probably not a full game, just a puzzle treat for his fans -- but I haven't listed to the audio file or anything)

His body wasn't there when I went back, so I dont know what happened to him

Bothe came from standin.in.lineSPLATgmail.com

Dunno if it's from an existing game, or trailhead or something else.
What do you guys think of it?
