"I read, much of the night" is another Wasteland line.

Anyone get multiples of this same letter? Not that it matters, but I did send more than one letter to ladybee777 (between start of Phase I and now) and I've received 3 emails... all the same, but still odd, like it sent out one for EVERY EMAIL IT GOT, maybe?

"MARK but this flea, and mark in this" is from "The Flea" by John Donne.

These three lines:

"I should not be able to make any one understand how exciting it all was."
"I brought it home and hid it in a secret place"
"the house is so sad and lonesome"

are also from The Mysterious Stranger.

Ok, so we can assume that it's getting either (1) stories from us emailed to her (the S.P., that is) or (2) it's going out and reading from Project Gutenberg itself, right? I think that someone sent a story from Gutenberg (if anyone owns that, it would be cool, by the way...) and it's been reading since. Obviously it got that *** END: FULL LICENSE *** from there, and thinks that's how to end an email. So maybe if we send links (that mean something, people, and please not about HALO!!! Let's stay in-game here...) It can crawl those pages, and the S.P. can get what she needs? I'm totally stumped by this turtle power stuff though... I know all about the Ninja Turtles... was totally my thing when I was a kid... but I'm totally stumped now... anyone?...

Well, this proves that some of the imagry we sent out it's using. I'm recognizing the two lit blip I sent it. I sent it the lyrics to "You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch."
