TTHSK informed us in IRC that oraclewatch.org has been updated with a picture of a painting by Salvador Dali.

There's some javascript for an image swap, trying to figure out if it's used for anything now. Usually image swaps are for rollovers.

I doubt it means anything significant but...
Crucifixion (Corpus Hypercubus): The scene is depicted in front of the bay of Port Lligat. Which is a small island off the coast of Spain. Also being Dali's home town. I cant see how that would play into this but I figured I would throw it out.

HAY GUYS

I only have a few seconds here, but: Bricker called. Twice.

Unfortunately, he had to call while I was at work, so no recording... not that much was said. I played dumb, giving him just enough for thought.

And he is very confused.

The first call mostly revolved around him asking if I had been sent anything else. The ticket, as he says, had been apart of a box that he had 'misplaced' somewhere between moving from OK to CA a few years back. There had been other things from his mother in it (probably the photos and the President letter and all that we've seen).
Syncs with Ron's story. So I wouldn't totally disregard everything Ron has said to us--he's still essentially a character in the game.

I told him that it had been sent to me from 'AR' in Santa Rosa, and the return address happened to be a Starbucks corporate headquarters. I mentioned that I thought 'AR' meant someone named 'Rage', hrr hrr.

As soon as I said 'Rage', though, I noticed something. He was breathing really unsteadily. Lots of empty pauses. I mean, there's good acting, and there's stage fright, but I don't think this was either of them, guys. I really don't.

Either way, I have his phone number and permission to call him again 'if something else shows up'. I could tenatively say that I've seen more, but I'm trying to play confused, y'know? (Not that hard, really, with a game like this.)

However, he called about five minutes later, which went something like this:
Bricker: 'Hey sorry to bother you again, but why did you think the ticket was sent to you by someone named Rage?'
Me: 'I don't know. That's the name he gave me: Arlen Rage.'
Bricker: '(huge, huge pause)'
Bricker: 'Oh. I see.' And he kinda flustered his way through hangup before I could another question in edgewise.

Next time he gets in contact, though... I'm gonna prod that.

More to come when I get off work in a few hours!

Someone can do me a favor in the meantime, though: research the number (773) 261-2483. This number called me about ten minutes before Bricker did, but I don't know anyone who lives in mid-Chicagoland. It might just be nothing, but... TINAG, right?

Sounds like a home phone. I called it and someone with a southern or north east answered so I hung up. I didn't know what to say.

I'll call back if someone wants me to ask questions.
