And inputting the following:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
1) unthinking, 2) careless, 3) dull, 4) leucotomy, 5) insensate
yields the message "Your answers seem correct. Please contact the professor."
I've emailed the data to professoreriksonSPLAT descry.us, and it hasn't bounced yet . . .

yup, basically what I said on previous posts thanks for pulling the 5 answers together Mac.
I wonder when we'll get the other pieces of this puzzle? I also hope we're not messing anything up by solving it, ie releasing another 4...(IMHO I suspect we are working to free Tom now, and it could be we need to solve this bit before we can get the answer to Gemini)

Well, professoreriksonSPLAT descry.us just bounced. I'm going to try professorSPLAT descry.us, professor.eriksonSPLAT descry.us, and eriksonSPLAT descry.us.
Failing that, I'll email the solve to Raphael and ask him to pass it on to the professor (Raphael's email is raphaelSPLAT descry.us).

Blog update!
Edit: Another blog update, this time by Raphael.
It appears that another death occurred:
"Dead at forty of a drive by"
So, now it's:
Dead at 80 of the ruined heart
Dead at 61 of the rotted lung
Dead at 58 of despair and pills
Dead at 45 anger and a gunshot wound
Dead at 40 of a drive by
Dead at 37 drowning in a bottle
35, 32, 24, 22, no 20! It came faster and faster, broken under a bridge, my throat cuts, no! No, buried alive! Crushed! Burning!
I'm going to assume the last bit is in order, so it's:
Dead at 35, broken under a bridge (Not sure what the hell that means)
Dead at 32 by a cut to the throat
Dead at 24 by being buried alive
Dead at 22 by being crushed
Dead at 20 by burning
Anyone know what "Point two BAC" means?

BAC point 2 explanation Some speculation Speculating here but I think I'm on firm ground
BAC = Blood Alcohol Content
.2 is very serious intoxication (unless you really are a heavy drinker) and about 4 times the legal limit in EU countries (and most countries).
This combined with the mention of "drive-by" and "no insurance" seems to indicate a DUI that led to a slaying. Our hero methinks did a bad thing and "all was going to fall on" his "shoulders" he opted for shooting his way out of a problem.
It looks I missed another good one (I would have helped with the Greek as well). -sigh- AT least I hope to be around for tomorrow night.
And the plot is enjoyable.

Questions arising from the dream:
The circles were on the floor, so was some sort of ritual taking place?
Who/ what was the person (entity?) behind whispering?
What was the "something black" moving on the body "liquid and alive" ?(crap we're after Lord Voldemort!)
Was the person in the circle "possessed"? and to "fix it" they had to be killed? (BTW, if this is the case Raph is in trouble as his parasite might come back)
Can we assume the person in the circle and the person who had the gun were Tom & his Brother? the "it's all going to fall on your shoulders" comment could relate to this...

You may be right!
Considering the words "I am Lord Voldemort" is an anagram of:
Tom Marvolo Riddle!! dun dun duuuuun!

I thought the whole twin thing was actually his self-(something)?
Or maybe I'm just totally confused.

Is it just me, or does Raphael's dream sound like this, from a different point of view?
"Gabriel: That was it! God, this is bad. This is really bad. Raphael is lying on the floor in the other room, shaking and screaming. Black... fluid... what I can only think of as fifth dimensional material is flowing over him."

i think tom has developed split personality. there is the brother that was his physical borther, and now a brother in his head.

I wnder when we'll get the next movement on this, no blog updates, or replies for 4 days.
EDIT: to be fair it's really 3 days.

Doesn't seem likely, but perhaps we're missing something?

Yeah I keep going over things to see if there's anything. I just left a note for Kevin to check about Alvin, but can't think of anything else.

Well, just going to go out on a limb, but I'm guessing folks are doing things for Thanksgiving, so no updates today... maybe tomorrow?
I've been going over the divination board things and musing as to how they fit with the Kevin email... And I emailed Raphael a few questions. I'm also waiting to see if a different email will bounce back or not...
Edit: Alright, so it's been the better part of a day and no bounce-back....
I tried emailing RUMI.
If you look at the first rumi page, what do you see in a *giant* font? A possible email address! The first one, RUMIsplat descry.us bounced immediately, but rumisplat descry.us hasn't....
I'm starting to feel a little excited. I'm just hoping my non-WA status won't kill my chances or anything.

New Puzzle! Check it out: http://descry.us/raph.html
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I'm able to get the word "moutons" from an anagram of the first word. Altering the second image gets "due" and "gry". Not sure what the dots could be for, and I think I may be wrong, also, with the anagram thing for the first pic.
