@JuiceBoxVomit: Please stop fighting. If you could please explain your hypothesis so we can all get along, that would be very great. We need to work as a team to get this done. All the fighting between you and GoingUp isn't helping anything. Just drop it and make a truce.

Okay, a few random thoughts none of which have been investigated too deeply...just seeing if it'll spark anything in anyone.

@Thisone
If three letters need to be eliminated from "hollywood film credits" to make 85%, perhaps it is "owl"? Maybe that's what "The bird is the word" is about.

Taking that slightly further, since that phrase is in French, we could look to the entry "French" which reads "I am fond of French movies about sick men dying".

So maybe the letters h,o,l,y,o,d,f,i,l,m,c,r,e,d,i,t,s form the name of a person who died from an illness 36 years ago? Possibly someone whose life was made into a movie posthumously (thus having nothing to do with the production)

I'm probably grasping at straws here but figured i'd post anyway.

also, i never considered the hamburger angle. it would do my soul good to finally have something happen with those lines. they bug the ever living shit out of me.

christ. i can't believe i just now noticed this.

"chest hair", "hatshoe", and "notes" are missing.

...have been since october when the index changed to the circle.
you can still view them by manually typing them in......making these "components" of the page "selective in how they appear"....

someone want to shoot an email to him asking about this? (i've had an email out to him for a week that i don't want to risk losing an answer to.)


EDIT-
also, after reading through some old WoC tweets, i finally understood the "obvious clue" juiceboxvomit received a few pages back. (it totally went right over my head at the time)
i have no idea what the lantern etc means, but the line next to it "i think one is pretending their intentions are honest" is nearly a direct quote from a WoC tweet from November of 2009:

back in september when WoC was sick, I tweeted "hope to have you feeling better soon, friend" to which he replied "thankings, eumenoid". so that's where you remember that from.
i read through that wikipedia article...very interesting. the parallels between hs and greek mythology are numerous and undeniable. a few of us started on that train of thought a few months back but it naturally evolved into the astrology angle, which we now know is "not completely wrong", for what that's worth.
the problem is in determining whether the correlations to greek mythos play an actual part in all this, or if it's passive (the way many movies/books resemble them thematically). if you figure that out, i would never stop high fiving you.
as for resigning, i felt the same way when i started. when you first discover hs, it's very exciting but it is extreeeeeeeemely slow paced. spending too much time on it will drive you absolutely insane because answers just don't come. for me, it's less of a game you play and more of something that's always in the back of your mind. (but that's just me. it's the only way i can keep my sanity through all this)
personally, i hope you stick around. your "outside the box" thinking is extremely helpful...i don't think any of us even considered doing anything with the dates in "casualties". please let us know if you find anything with that.
as far as getting a return on time invested...there's no way. haha. but i play a lot of video games and technically, i've never received anything for completing them either, other than the satisfaction of seeing them through. (once again, this is just me holding onto my sanity)
