"Blue Grame Turf grass Bouteloua gracilis 'Hachita'".
Who said it's nothing?
Maybe just another language. Like the la tin in the front page.

Googling for "atihcaH" produces one interesting result. A "Backwards" (It's a Weird Wide Web out there.) version of a Froogle search for "grass seed", but no "on- page" reference to Hachita (forwards or backwards).

The hit in Google included the string:
Code:
'atihcaH' silicarg auoletuoB ssarg fruT amarG eulB

Which, when reversed, gives:
Code:
Blue Grame Turf grass Bouteloua gracilis 'Hachita'

So... Nada. Bummer!


Actually, it may not be anything game related, but it is something you found there. There is a "Google Mirror Mirror" (my emphasis) Like Alice holding a book up to the Mirror world and seeing the reflection in the mirror. This site is sponsored by...

Okay, the O thing you reveal with the mouse over...It looks to me like an infinity loop? I can't remember what exactly it is called, which might be important, so people smarter than I....You know when you take a strip of paper, and twist it, and put the ends together? That's what I am talking about. What is that bloody called?

I think that is what Nos meant. But without something to show a clearly defined half-twist in the loop, it looks like a fancy font O to me. Maybe that is something to ask Kevin the webmaster about.

some random observations:
The head of the Ourobobos is going in a counter-clockwise fashion, much like a mirrored clock. It's four in the morning here, and the head is at the nine position. off-set by an hour, not sure what that could mean.


You mean ... backwards?

There's that word again Wink

Nice observation.

Hachita NM

Well, someone thinks something interesting was happening at Hachita last July -

http://www.okimc.org/newswire.php?story_id=976&region=international&language=all&results_offset=120

(edit) Followed that to www.luxefaire.com. Whoa. Unfortunately, I think this guy is for real. Who wants to call him??

A google search for "Oklahoma Independent Media Center" shows the home page and this one:
http://www.okimc.org/newswire.php?story_id=344

Which is an article about voting machines counting backwards. Fits the theme.

The WHOIS on that domain lists the registrant as:
Code:
Registrant Name:Chris Bryant
Registrant Organization:Oklahoma Independent Media Center
Registrant Street1:1008 W. Madison St.
Registrant Street2:
Registrant Street3:
Registrant City:Broken Arrow
Registrant State/Province:Oklahoma
Registrant Postal Code:74012
Registrant Country:US
Registrant Phone:+1.9189513988
Registrant Phone Ext.:
Registrant FAX:
Registrant FAX Ext.:
Registrant Email:chris@urbandiscourse.com


http://urbandiscourse.com/ is an emplty blog.

Whois of urbandiscourse yields very little info:
Code:
Registrant:
   Urban Discourse

   Registered through: GoDaddy.com
   Domain Name: URBANDISCOURSE.COM

   Domain servers in listed order:
      NS27.1AND1.COM
      NS28.1AND1.COM


IMHO http://www.okimc.org has a lot of potential info. I noticed the nav bar on the left has a link for a translation website. Seems like an odd link to have on a news website. May be meaningless but I find it interesting.

Finally an ARG at the start Very Happy

Signed up... looks good...

I only vague thing i've discovered is that the image of the Ouroboros on the site was drawn by Theodoros Pelecanos in an alchemical tract entitled Synosius.

Further Googling of "hachita philadelphia experiment" finds our bright-eyed Bill's research available a number of places - like this one

http://www.mimico-by-the-lake.com/BLACK-OP.HTM

Who could resist a page titled BLACK-OP.HTML???

Wink

P.S. Also noted that Tesla is mentioned on that last site. The Philadelphia Experiment was all about Tesla. Further note that Bill thinks GM is behind the spraying, so that no crops will grow except what Monsanto wants to grow. Where is Benjamin Stove?!?!? Wink

It's code to move the Ourobobos counterclockwise at a rate of 15 degrees per hour where midnight is 0/360 degrees and Noon is 180 degrees(6 o'clock).
He does one counterclockwise rotation for each 24 hour period.

The interval componet tells it to refresh every 60 seconds.




I'd like to point out that the standard for longitudinal time on Earth is that the planet roates 15 degrees equaling one hour, meaning, for example, all US time zones are 15 degrees wide.

Looking at earth from directly above the center of the Arctic Ocean (the geographic north pole), we see the planet move counterclockwise 15 degrees every hour.


Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Urbandiscourse looks like a deadend. Site was registered in 1999 and is up for renewal end of this month. Of course, the owner may have decided to sell it rather than renew or let it expire Wink

Further on the registrant-

"Chris B***** of *********

Hi. Thanks for the book. I work for an e-commerce startup, HouseMart.com, doing web development and promotion. I also work for a web design hosting company, Webice.net, and designed www.sutherlandstulsa.com/. I'm relatively new to the industry, although I've used computers since I was 11, when I bought a Commodore 16 and taught myself BASIC. I'm also working on a web project called Urban Imperative Discourse, an online webzine and e-community for me and my creative friends to communicate/share/collaborate. That site is at www.urbandiscourse.com/, but is currently in development.


Chris' Entry:

I started using/studying computers when I was 11, went to college for sociology for two years, didn't graduate, but now have a better job than most of my friends who did graduate, all because I've learned about I.T. and the Internet on my own!

That mention is no more recent than Oct 2003
