 		Webcomic has a geocache
Something garfield related.
Webcomic Square root of minus Garfield has posted this comic:

http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=961

with authors note being:
Haqre abegu raq bs oevqtr.

solution:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
This is a cache here and the authors note ROT13 translated as: "Under north end of bridge."


Seeing as I am in England these is no way for me to find out what this is - and seeing how the Irregular Webcomic forum (this is a spin off of IW and Death and Droids Mezzacotta a site of half-baked ideas.)isn't as good as the xkcd forum at jumping on this - I thought someone on here might want to find out what is there.

(Also I just realised my last two posts were "hey webcomics are doing things uF will like.")

Any significance to this message at the bottom of the page?

"The author writes:

Haqre abegu raq bs oevqtr."

Simple letter substitution perhaps?

ROT 13 - Under north end of bridge.

It's in the red spoiler box above. Is that geocache still unclaimed?

 		Well, I just checked out Geocaching, and nothing., Check Opencaching, and found it. It's name? "Square Root of Negative Garfield." First Found - 25 NOV 2011. Been around a short while, but still awesome.

 		Opps thought I already posted this - people on the Irregular webcomic forum had found the cache.

 		haha I love that it's a geocaching.com official label, scratched out for opencaching.com Very Happy

(there's a lot of rivalry between the two sites; opencaching is still far behind, but it's known for collecting the people who angrily abandon groundspeak committing geocide Razz)

I can understand that. Groundspeak wants money for everything(Like their Android app). Opencaching asks no money(Their android app is free).

Yes but opencaching is much smaller, and not as good (ymmv) Razz but anyway!
