New tweet from WoC:

I worry about you, Carl. I will return soon enough. Maybe "worry" isn't the right word.

so while reading up on all this yesterday, which took 4 hours or so, i decided to send an email to hatshoe. i basically introduced myself and asked him if i can ask him a question. though that seems redundant as i type this out. none the less at 8:40pm est i got a feeling to check my email and lo and be hold he replied back to me at 8:39pm est. besides the fact that i feel weirded out, i came to a complete blank as to what i should ask him. anyone got a question they might want me to ask him since the invitation is open?

It is entirely up to you.

Is there anything you're confused about?
Maybe you think you might understand the reason behind all of these entries and you want to ask him to verify it?

Seriously, it's your decision.

honestly ive read everything in detail gone to every site and seen all the source code. the only thing i wanna ask is why is the word she spelt over something else, but i noticed he sent u guys the letter with blacked out words and it might be just him making a mistake, but the title is love and he crossed out she. it made a connection for me. plus the fact that its the only mistake he made. what do u guys think?

I'm back friends! Been reading up on everything....it's truly interesting and I do believe the Odyssey is a legitimate guess. All of it seems to tie in. While I'm still trying to remember the tidbit details I got out of my reading the Odyssey, I remember the fight between Odysseus and the Cyclops, Polyphemus, which is shown on the first of those pages(with the cyclops). Mermaid could be referring to the sirens? All I can think of right now. Besides the fact that Odysseus seemed to have died after the trojan war, but eventually came back after a bunch of trials (20 years I think it was.). That also makes me think of Calypso, whom could be the mermaid? She was a nymph though I think. Well that's all for now.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermes

that dude seems the most hatshoeish to me...

"His symbols include the tortoise, the rooster (cock), the winged sandals, the winged hat, and the caduceus"

"The Homeric hymn to Hermes invokes him as the one "of many shifts (polytropos), blandly cunning, a robber, a cattle driver, a bringer of dreams, a watcher by night, a thief at the gates, one who was soon to show forth wonderful deeds among the deathless gods."

"Hermes gives us our word "hermeneutics" for the art of interpreting hidden meaning."

still wondering why on mallow the cyclops says: Th13 13 my mermaid trap.
and the hunter: Th13 is my mermaid trap trap

(or something like that, but theres definitely some kind of code in those words.) owh and the mirrored&reversed GAPS and many other things, craaaazy page!

And i have been thinking about apples.html
the word "stars" points to former.html

this clue seems to be about Celestial Navigation:

<like>

the picture is of the sun, and the clue says that its obsolete (in path calculations =navigation i think)

Im pretty sure the Third Phase means the Age of Discovery

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amerigo_Vespucci

Amerigo Vespucci discovered how to calculate longitude (the more efficient method?)

on his Third Voyage (in 1501–1502): "After the first half of the expedition, Vespucci mapped Alpha and Beta Centauri, as well as the constellation Crux, the Southern Cross."

in 1508: "Vespucci even developed a rudimentary, but fairly accurate method of determining longitude (which only more accurate chronometers would later improve upon)." this happened after the voyages?

http://www.millersville.edu/~columbus/papers/jury-01.html

"He hit upon the method of measuring lunar distance in relation to the time of a conjunction, a conjunction being the passing of a planet by the more swiftly moving moon."

"In addition, during his calculations of the length of a degree, he improved the current figure and produced an estimate of the Earth's equatorial circumference which was the most accurate of his time, only 50 miles short of the actual dimensions. "

Oh and he is born in Florence (Italy)...

This has got to be it, but i dunno what to do now hahah.

The word "galaxy" in apples points to symmetrical.html

What galaxy is it? I cant figure out anything from this page Very Happy.

More on mallow

bow and the leaf, the leaf could be a Laurel leaf after all.
So these two hunters could be involved in the mystery of Mallow:
http://www.infoplease.com/cig/mythology/night-hunters-artemis-apollo.html


After reading alot of the wiki's, i think it could be about greek mythology overall, not just homer's odyssey. And maybe the mythology will lead to something else after figuring out where this all (the clues in mallow) is going(?).

All the gods and other characters in greek mythology lead me to wiki's about constellations and stars and stuff...

/EDIT

Ow ya! Hatshoe answered my email!

"I didn't think I had a friend who would notice!
You seem very thorough.
Perhaps it's time to begin the next phase."

Sadly i can't remember all of what i put in the email so i'm not sure what he means i noticed Sad. Will try to remember to copy my email somewhere next time. (I asked him to attach my last email next time he responds if he has it still, hoping he does.)

I think you should feel free to ask whatever you want to ask. Frankly, I don't think anyone has clue what to ask or we'd be asking it.
You've recently read through and your fresh eyes may just see something we don't. I also don't think you should feel like this is your only opportunity to ask. Mr. Hatshoe has been quite generous however cryptic with his responses.

If you use Hotmail, you have a sent folder.

I don't know if other email services have it, though. They probably do.

PerdíElJuego thanks! damn im so stupid.

Ok, i said 3 things in the email.

First, i said that Hermes from greek mythology sounds like he is the Watchful almost. Also said that after going through all the greek mythology wiki's i find myself looking at planets again.

Third thing was about Amerigo Vespucci and the fact that he figured out how to calculate longitude.

I dont know to what he is referring to. Maybe the Vespucci thing? Its the most solid info from those bits.

Great work Loopkin! Not sure if my greek mythology is still up to par, but I used to be really good at it. It's so interesting. If anything that picture sort of reminds me of Polyphemus the cyclops... I dunno if I'm right, but Odysseus and his crew crashed into the cyclops land because of sirens...Can't remember if that's true, but they grounded their ship and had to take refuge in Polyphemus's cave and are essentially trapped there by the huge boulder that he places over it.
