[Puzzle?] digits (fingers)

I spotted the flames of different lengths (1's and 0's?) of the background hand. Splitting it up, it's 24 frames of painful inscribing - I'd attach it but it's 1.5MB zip! so I'll just have to post the digits as I see it (someone feel free to correct it)

Assuming 1's as "long flame" and 0's as "short flame", going from frame0 up to frame 24 (25 frames in total)

10001, 10110, 11101, 10001, 01110
10001, 11101, 10001, 10110, 10001
11101, 10110, 10001, 10101, 10100
10001, 11001, 10110, 10001, 10101
10001, 10101, 10001, 11101, 11111

Puzzle?.. or red herring?
..btw, only in the last frame is ALL the flames long

same when you do it with ones and zeros reversed

What is that phrase that the red dot reveals on the http://www.myzterious.com/digits.html Site?

It says : ATTENTION

hi satyr,

i just realize i did the very same work already done by you.

imho in frame #5 second digit is 0 instead of 1 as you mentioned.

this is coming from comparing the flame with frame #3 for example where it is much higher. but it is difficult to determinate, as a matter of fact from frame #4 to #5 it is increasing, but just a very little.

so i would read:

10001, 10110, 11101, 10001, '0o110' instead of 01110
10001, 11101, 10001, 10110, 10001
11101, 10110, 10001, 10101, 10100
10001, 11001, 10110, 10001, 10101
10001, 10101, 10001, 11101, 11111

hope it can help,

ciao

i don't know if this is posted yet, so sorry if it is.

in the red square over the hand, is this text:

" After San Francisco outlawed burials in 1901, neighboring Colma quickly became the world's only incorporated city where the dead outnumber the living........thirteen hundred to one! "

I have put that code into a binary converter and come up with nothing, as well.

i have a fairly high screen resolution, so when i look at the the page, i see the one hand, and then three fingers of another. This led me to think, if you add the first three numbers of each sequence to the end of the sequence, what do you get? so far i have found a few different combinations that look at first glance to be jibberish. Try it out.

Also on this page: http://www.myzterious.com/digits.html
when you 'select all', there is a single pixel link above the ATTENTION text which leads to
http://www.scaryornot.com/ "Am I scary clown or not".
By refreshing the page, different scary clown pictures are shown.

Creepy!

Nevermind, I see it's already been posted here , along with other links.
(I did a search before I posted, and nothing showed up.)

The town of Colma, CA was mentioned above, by Tephi, here is a link to the Colma home-page.

http://www.colma.ca.gov/

Not sure if this will be useful or not but it does have the full history of the town, including the part that is written on Scaryclown's site that Tephi found.

HEY I JUST FOUND THIS!

http://www.myzterious.com/colma.html

That page has this in the page source

<!--good find! -->

HAHA

There is a little trail form this page, but since it has nothing to do with the digits page I have posted the new pages under the myzterious.com thread.

Question: How about the audio file?

Has anyone checked the audio file on the digits page?
Could there be something hidden in those hissing beetles and rattling sounds if it's slowed down?
