Nice article. I thought it was strange that they called her "the Melissa" too.


Go tease Kristen about it. She's such a good sport. Which is why we should all tease her more.

[/bratty]

Huh. Now I'm not so sure if it's them. Would 4orty2wo be so self-referential? I mean, links to Ilovebees, Perfect Circle all over the place in the music videos, having Elan in the url, the whole "where is Alex Handy?" when Alex Handy is a real person...(grammatical mistakes)...

I wonder if this is something the newspaper is doing. The "I did this" might actually be literal.

Just thinking out loud.

Quoting the (fabulous) article:
"So next time you turn to the classified ads in a newspaper, or hear a ringing pay phone at a Concord strip mall, or stumble upon an odd Web site from the future"

925 (from the classified ads) is the Concord (East Bay), California area code.
However it says, not 925. So I tried 510 (East Bay) TRY DRIP or 510-879-3747.

V I O L A ! That's it.

I didn't get it all, but it ends with something like he's behind a 3 digit prime that ends in 7 11's.

Somebody with 1337 math kloo knowledge please help Smile !

I left them a dorky message saying something like "Hi," I'm going to post this now..

"What is the sum of a lonely one whose back is to...7" .. could that have to do with the prime number ending in 7-11's?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
bracket.html gives us "This page was not intentionally left blank" and in the source "The stadium was on the west".


Also, we find

Also,

 		list of prime numbers: http://encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/wiki/index.php?title=List_of_prime_numbers
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Possible that 7 11s could be 77. There are a few 3-digit primes ending in 77.
