Heh, well kinda - I gave it a name and indicated that it's a trailhead. If you have any ideas, I'm all ears!

How about the name "Weird numbers" until we decode the puzzle.

it looks like the grammar of an email address - substitution cypher?
.10191 probably translates to 3 numbers: 10 19 1
@9131302 = 9 13 13 02
Of course, this breaks down when you look at the first part.

both 667 and 704143 when you sum the individual numbers you get 19...
but is probably just coincidence...

i'd say .10191 has to equal some sort of domain (.com, .net, .tk etc...) because of the setup of the address. don't know if that helps anyone...

I did a quick number/ROT translation and 10-19-1=COS. Just assigned the numbers to a ROT 7 alphabet. But since I didn't get anything recognizable from 10-19-1 I didn't go any further with that line of thought.
[Edit: Trying ROT 4 looking for a .net address. Didn't turn out either.]
Nothing interesting seems to have happened on October 19, 2001 either.
Just eliminating possibilities.

Don't most domains in the UK end with co.uk though? Like bbc.co.uk?
(and yes, I made damn sure that wasn't a pr0n site before listing it)

Go ahead, bust my bubble. And here I was thinking how clever I am because 'u' is 10 letters past 'k'.

Maybe it would be easier to try and decode the title, there are many repeating numbers so it'd be easier to rule out red herrings.
