i've tried various passwords with no luck (that is if it's stegged?). the write up on the book on amazon, seems to refer to someone called jude who goes to a bowling alley called the inferno (neither of which work). Confused

Jude, Judas, (All the character names), Bowling, Depression, Kiss me judas, bumper, strike, ball, and a number of choice words.

I thinks its pretty big for just a picture.

What about something related to the author's background OR the Biblical reference of Kiss of Judas?

The story is about the urban legend where people get their kidneys stolen.

I tried kidney, kidneys... urban legends uhm and Tachyon-related stuff.

Is it possible this isn't camouflaged? Do we know it is or just suspect?

Also there's a Nick Cave connection and Nick Cave was in the last puzzle. Just a thought.

I'm still pointing at size for whether or not its a puzzle. It's taking up 2.25 megs on my computer right now. That's weird. Also I just can't see any way to progress through this

Also tried- Thirty silver pieces jesus pilot michael kidney

i think the size is just down to it being a bmp file. i just took another random jpg (1024x768), and used paint to save it as a 24-bit bmp file - it came out at exactly the same size 2.25mb (that's not to say it still isn't stegged though, as i believe there's some apps out there that can hide data without changing the original file size). it's getting late here though, i gotta go to bed - good luck dude.

Random words brainstorm (sorry if I repeat)

Iscariot, Mount of Olive, Betrayal, heroin, John (only Gospel not to include story), Passover, Satan

What about rearranging words from the email?

Last time I had a puzzle involving an image that was this big someone used steganog. But I found nothing. Not sure if I screwed it up.

Well no news, and I need sleep no matter what the ARG commandments say. Found a forum dedicated to the writer in question www.welcometothevelvet.com. Look around and talk to them, see if there's anything.

I, too, got the email (which is exciting in and of itself).

REEDIT - Eve = lesbian, Jude = hooker, Phineas Poe = cop

BTW - bowling alley in KMJ = The Inferno.

Jude goes bowling when she's depressed

I think Poe might've had the note in his pocket?
