 		*excuse us for the kinda-off topicness* Axys was still right by saying level 7 because the link he gave goes to level 7, so either way, you're both right.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
a clue is underlined?

 		Level 7:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.generalwasteoftime.0nyx.com/sphere.htm - Sphere is a synonym for "ball"


Level 8:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.generalwasteoftime.0nyx.com/telephone.htm - Download "ZipADeeDooDah.mp3" and convert to .zip, contained txt file gives solution
