Nope, definitely not just you, unless we're both making the same error when transcribing the text.

So I emailed back with that Subject and now we play the waiting game again.

Also,
Perhaps there's a code hidden in the code based on the errors?

Yeah, just cracked it and sent the reply, those few letters held me up a minute. I marked the mistakes down but I'd need more context if there was any sense to be made out of them. It's a start..

Guess I stayed out too late with the super bowl. Solved and sent, but seems you guys did too.

I got it too. I came to the same conclusion as you guys, but the mistakes seem fishy. They could be genuine mistakes, but it seems sort of an easy type of cipher to make mistakes in, especially if it was checked which you would have thought it was. Do you think that the incorrect letters are meant to be like that?

I replied.

Forgot I signed up for this. Just gpot the email too and replied. I tried ROTing the "mistake" letters, including the original ciphered ones (MTMG), the deciphered ones (LSLI) and the corrected deciphered ones (NUTI) but the only one that made sense was the last one which ROT-21's to "IPOD" - but I think that might just be coincidence.

Jacob's Ladder was also a film:

I use: http://www.mobilefish.com/services/rot13/rot13.php for all my rot codes, unless you are not good at typing or English it is pretty hard to make spelling mistakes and that is just one online tool.
