[SPEC] Wells of History
Do the keys relate to H.G. Wells' _Short History of the World_?

This was brought up briefly in another thread and thought it deserved a little more attention. The phrase "use these keys to dip into the wells of history" might have something to do with H.G. Well's book A Short History of the World

There is an online version of the complete text (http://www.bartleby.com/86/) that is conveniently organized by chapter and paragraph, with numbers. I don't have a key and no one has publicly posted one, so I can't confirm that they could be used to find a specific line or word from that text.

I understand that the keys are probably base64 and need to be decoded, which can be done at http://www.opinionatedgeek.com/dotnet/tools/Base64Decode/ - so if some one who has a key could attempt this (decode, and then see if the result could somehow be used to locate a word or phrase from the book), we could see if this is a dead end.

It won't work - when you decode it through base64, it comes out as random, non alphanumeric characters: 'R�􅩨@�w� ****

I think we are chasing a ghost with this wells of history thing. Besides it says to dip from the wells of history not into os I think that they were just two seperate commands and the keys arent meant to be used outside server unlocking.
