Durabo - my little pause has caused me to attack strongly now - I fear he will surrender first, and then his secrets are mine.


Durabo is latin for "I will last"

I'm wondering if the SPEAR page answer is a number: the format of the A: 1. then 15 spaces. I did wonder if it was pi due to the circles reference but obviously it's 1. rather than 3. *shrug*

"fishy number" immediately brings up the symbol of pisces which is very similar to the number 69.


But Sixty Nine doesn't fit in the spaces - plus it has little to do with Johnny Flynn. The pisces fishes and the number 69 also seem to "circle around" much like the puzzle we had during MoA last time involving the snake consuming itself - Ouroboros

Also note:

EDIT :
I need to read before posting.
I was on the previous page and didn't see this was answered. MAH BAD.

Edit 2 :
Johnny Flynn is - according to that Wikipedia page - also known as Joe Flynn. On Joe Flynn's wikipedia page(obtained from the link distilled posted), it says he was born on 14 March 1983, which would make him a Pisces. Dunno how this fits in yet.

Edit 3: Interesting note about his father, Eric Flynn :
Quote:
Eric Flynn appeared as Alan-A-Dale in "A Challenge For Robin Hood" in 1963, as Leo Ryan in the Doctor Who story The Wheel in Space in 1968, as Ivanhoe in a 1970 TV mini series and as Major Tom Graham in series five of Freewheelers in 1971.

There's been a theme of duality in all the puzzles so far:
Night and Day
Old "knowledge" vs New
Creation and Destruction

If we look at the Ding Dong Bell poem, there's a clear theme of cruelty and compassion.

Edit: I'm wondering... The OoO symbol here is the same as that of the Chalice Well in Glastonbury. The poem says "pussy" is IN the well. Looking at the two diagonally aligned marks, could there be a need to put a mirror there and see if anything appears?

The Rhyme goes:

Quote:
Ding dong bell, pussy's in the well
Who put her in? Little Johnny Flynn
Who pulled her out? Little Tommy Stout
What a naughty boy was that, try to drown poor Pussycat,
Who ne'er did any harm
But killed all the mice in the Farmer's barn!


Shakespeare uses the phrase in the Tempest - Act I, Scene II:
"Sea nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Hark! Now I hear them - Ding, dong, bell." (NOTE: FISHY!)

The Wrote and Writ
Johnny Flynn

Quote:
They're taking pictures of the man from God
I hope his cassock's clean
The burden of being our holy fellas
Your halo'd better gleam, better gleam

What of all those wayward priests?
The ones who like to drink
Do you suppose they'd swap their blood for wine
Like you swapped yours for ink, for ink

You wrote me, oh so many letters
And all of them seemed true
Promises look good on paper
Especially from you, from you

The weight of all those willing words
I carried all alone
You wouldn't put your pen to bed
When we hadn't found our own, our own

Your sentences rose high at night
And circled round my head
The circle's since been broken
Like the priest before me is breaking bread

I'm being asked to drink the blood of Christ
And soon I'll eat his flesh
I'm alone again before the altar
Shedding all my old regrets

The last of which I'll tell you now
As it flies down the sink
I never knew a part of you
You didn't set in ink, in ink

The letters that you left behind
No longer shall I read
Your blood's between the pages
And I can't stand to see you bleed

And I'll soon forget what was never there
Your words are ash and dust
All that's left is the song I've sung
The breath I've taken and the one I must

If you're born with a love for the wrote and the writ
People of letters your warning stands clear
Pay heed to your heart and not to your wit
Don't say in a letter what you can't in my ear


Sorry, I posted this because the site it was on was messed up and I needed a place to look at the whole thing. I can't see anything which is too relavent. A tonne of Flynne's stuff has references to wheels and fish:

Brown Trout Blues: http://www.uulyrics.com/music/johnny-flynn/song-brown-trout-blues/

BRAINWAVE

Quote:
Your sentences rose high at night
And circled round my head
The circle's since been broken
Like the priest before me is breaking bread

I'm being asked to drink the blood of Christ
And soon I'll eat his flesh
I'm alone again before the altar
Shedding all my old regrets


Fishy number? 2 fish? to feed 5000?

Chalice well cover is a Vesica piscis. Fish again. bisected by a spear (again) "The mathematical ratio of the width of the vesica piscis to its height is the square root of 3" so could it be that number to 15 decimal places? I don't know how to do that on the calculator, and the ones I've pulled on Google aren't enough.

I can't find one which goes past 14 decimal places either, how frustrating...

[EDIT]

Did you know that "the square root of 3" has its own wiki article, I didnt:


1.73205 08075 68877 29352 74463 41505 87236 69428 05253 81038 06280 5580


New page: http://www.theorderofoborot.com/732050807568877.htm

The song is Jack Morgan - Little Mouse http://lyrics.wikia.com/Jack_Morgan:Little_Mouse

Jack Morgan used to front the band Canterbury (read: FICTIONAL). I KNEW I'D HEARD THIS BEFORE! Look around you! Classic!

For those of you across the pond/those in the UK who haven't seen it: Look around you was a spoof comedy series by Peter Serafinowicz and other comedians - it was a spoof 1970s science show for kids. Very funny. I suggest you look it up.

Also whilst I'm splurging info: its a humpback whale. [EDIT] I stand corrected, its a Blue Whale.

And the dude is Carl Von Linne: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Linnaeus

Which leads to this: http://www.eol.org/pages/328574 notice the name "Balaenoptera musculus (Linnaeus, 1758)" for the Blue Whale

Suggestion : To stop the page from stretching next time, add a line break somewhere in these huge lines of text, and if need be, make a note of it.

Also, Vald changed his pic;

Stuck at this next part. I found the text and all, but trying to move on to the next page. Really wish I wasn't so busy today, since it seems we're on a roll.

Look at them flounder...
All they want is one little pill, the right one though - luckily I have hidden medication so well now, no one knows about which pills are best anymore...
But yes, we will rule through this medication - they can have the more common version...

Pic is of a blue and red capsule with serax 30 writ on one side, and something small writ on the other.

I have tried the alts of Temapzapam, and was fairly sure it might be OXAZAPAM to no joy.

If it's a sedative, the Zs on it may be pointing towards sleep.
I'll try things when I can, though I'm currently bouncing between multiple things here.

Edit :
Quote:
"Temazepam belongs to the class of medications called benzodiazepines. It is used for the treatment of short-term sleeping problems associated with difficulty falling asleep, frequent awakenings during the night, or early morning awakenings. It works by slowing down the central nervous system (CNS)."


Quote:
The recommended adult dose of temazepam ranges from 15 mg to 30 mg taken before going to bed. The lowest effective dose of medication should be used and treatment should normally not last longer than 7 to 10 consecutive days.


Quote:
Each maroon and blue No. 3 capsule, imprinted "APO 30", contains temazepam 30 mg. Nonmedicinal ingredients: anhydrous lactose, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium lauryl sulfate and talc; capsule shell (D&C Red No. 28, titanium dioxide, gelatin, FD&C Blue No. 1 and FD&C Red No. 40), white ink (ammonium hydroxide, isopropyl alcohol, n-butyl alcohol, pharmaceutical glaze, propylene glycol, simethicone and titanium dioxide).

I keep thinking the zzzZzzzz is a clue, like the 4th letter is Z. ruling in Oxazapam, diazapam, etc, but they're not working. Even benzodiaz Sad

Ah! can't spell.

Hmm, separate pics on one page. 10 stars at bottom, two stars in each corner of an illustrated manuscript sylte of that Vignis Fishy thing from earlier.

Each thing when clicked on goes to a different page.
http://theorderofoborot.com/MAN.htm top left blokey on the manuscript. A board room with a document file.
http://theorderofoborot.com/EAGLE.htm top right birdy thing, 2 D6, and a church, not St Alfrege, already checked.
http://theorderofoborot.com/BULL.htm bottom right, warning, Mozart's black and white movie period. Manuscript has writ upon it "Wolfgang was young when he wrote this... So early in his life... His poor mother...
http://theorderofoborot.com/LION.htm bottom left hairy thing. Not on yellowed paper, dated 29th October 1969. Handwriting a little hard to decipher.
Also, if you click on the central 2 stars on the book in the chaps hand, it takes you to a google image search of ID
Clicking on the starts at the bottom get to a possword entry page, which goes back to the crepuscular screen.
