Wow, guys!
Just checking in as there's a lot going on at work.
Lot happening.
Wish I could devote more time right now.
I think the messages in the source are specific to the PM's error and a comedy of errors on all our parts on their attempt to rectify the problem.
I was chatting w/someone last week (Can't remember who) about when the page updates occur.
It's almost always been around 5-6pm, my time (12-1am? GMT), so I can't help but get the feeling that since Columbus Day isn't a Holiday in the UK, that the PM was "waiting" for someone to say the right thing at the right time, which happened sometime just before 8pm, GMT.
If that's true, Law's on the right track and we just need to find the right word or it's reversed form from recent posts.
I've tried a few like freemasonry/yrnosameerf and bench/hcneb, but have to go back to the real world for a while.

My 2cents, for now. Good Luck.

 		Ah, silly me. Breaking the rules like everyone else. At least Shy didn't catch me, or I'd be in big trouble. Laughing

 		I'm confused about the Japanese letters...I have forgotten most of what I learned, but I think only the one in the center means Sunday, or maybe the first two...so what's the extra one for?

 		Oh, how I wish I could spend some time on this.
"Yoobi" is the "day" part of any day of the week in Japanese.
I'm thinking "Yoobi" and "Scooby" are just too close to pass-up.
Also, The "Sun" part may be significant as we're dealing with religions, primarily and the Sun is a prominent figure in many.

 		check out the link that Shylilembrace gave us:

http://cjvlang.com/Dow/dowjpn.html

First character = Sun/male principle 'nichi'

Second character = luminary/shining body 'yao' or 'yoo'

Third character = sun or day 'bi'

So Sunday sounds like nichi-yoobi. The second and third characters are common to all the days of the week, so they all end in '-yoobi'

Seems like a big link to the sun here - maybe the word is SUN? (Just tried - no)

 		I don't often post such irrelevant links, but this one mentions that originally, Madame Tussaud found the key, the day after the Bastille was stormed and I don't remember seeing that in our research, anywhere.
This is a story about it having been stolen and recovered while on loan to an exhibit in Austrailia in 1999.

 		I looked up 1790 pm and I kept finding this. I don't think it's been mentioned yet, I also don't know it's relevance to anything.
http://www.ldsmag.com/sci_rel/050713Constellations.html

If you scroll down a bit at the name Rebekah, it says 1790pm, in another column it says Sunday 18

except it's April, so maybe not.

Oh and my Japanese teachers would kill me for not knowing that kanji Embarassed

 		I still believe the freemason symbols may be our "key". There are many keywords/passwords/symbols in their system. The "Hiram" or main symbol dedicated to the group is called "The Key". It was shortly after I made the comment concerning the freemasons, the new screen appeared. Perhaps it was another comment that led to the screen appearing, but I wanted to throw that out.

Quote:
The link between all of this could be: Freemasons. It appears I keep being brought back to Paine's "The Origin of Freemasonry" and to atheist sites. Now, If all religions are being represented in this game, then shouldn't atheist beliefs be part of it as well?



***LINK*****
http://www.aw22.com/aw22/bastille.htm



Freemason Lafayette gave a key to Thomas Paine in Autgust, 1790.

Quote:
In France, the Bastille, a prison in Paris, was symbolic of the repression of freedom. Thus, the keys to the Bastille are symbols of freedom and of escape from repression.

As you visit Mount Vernon and the George Washington Masonic National Memorial, look for these keys and ponder their meaning. A link between us, in the present, to Washington, LaFayette and our Masonic Brethren of two centuries ago, they are symbolic of the freedoms espoused by our Masonic Fraternity.



Here is a picture of that key:



look famiiliar?

Edit***

Also Relating to the Bastille:
Two Classics of the French Revolution. Includes Reflections on the Revolution in France by Edmund Burke, written in 1790, and The Rights of Man by Thomas Paine written immediately after in answer to Burke's criticism.

 		Hey MG - Moongazer originally dug up this link on Sunday (just before the key appeared in the lower right of the Paine pictures, interestingly) and a few of us have been looking at the whole Bastille / Washington / Lafayette connection for the last 24 hours or so. It is possible that the links are being revealed in response to our progress here, and so:

Moongazer mentions the key to the Bastille -> the key appears on the picture

Someone (maybe you) mentions something today -> the 1790pm page pops up.

Assuming this is the case, when did the page pop up and what was said?

Later

Law of Five
