 		[Possible ARG]Merrick Biotech (The Island)
Today I came across http://www.merrickbiotech.com/ Merrick Biotech is the company in the new movie "The Island". There is a signup form.

 		I found it on www.digg.com . Also I can't get the signup form to work for some reason.

 		I also can't get the signup to work. The message from the Doctor is interesting, as well as the fact that 'golden years magazine' is mentioned. Google shows there was a magazine by the same name back in '95-'96 in Australia, but is defunct now.

 		this looks more like a puzzle trail that a game, considering the site is hosted on dreamworks.com. also on the offical movie site http://www.theisland-themovie.com/ there's a login page for something.

 		Definatly keep this in mind:
http://www.youhavebeenchosen.com/

Saw it as a brief URL at the end of a very... action packed commercial for the upcomming movie "The Island"

Seems Semi-ARGish...

Movie has definite ARG potential...

 		Ok, I have signed up on the www.youhavebeenchosen.com/ site now, but the Merrick Biotech site is still giving me this error when I try to sign up.

Error

Either the database is running slowly or this site is experiencing difficulties please try again later.

So I guess we will need to try again tommorow.

Level 18 access for additional footage, try: Elmer Reed / 01.06.1910 / 44483

If you use this on the main island site it gives you the same video as if you entered your own name.

 		Elmer Reed
I can only assume that the 1.06.1910 is a date (birthdate?) and 44483 is the zip for Warren, OH....
