C6H5NHOH

The atomic numbers of C H N H O H are 6 1 7 1 8 1 which reads f a g a h a and when you include the 5 and 6, its ffaegah

So yeah, I thought I might've been on to something, but, unfortunately, I wasn't.

I don't know anything about chemistry, I was merely quoting the wikipedia pages I posted!

Isonicotinic acid is an organic compound with a carboxyl group on a pyridine ring. It is an isomer of nicotinic acid — the carboxyl group for isonicotinic acid is on the 4-position instead of the 3-position for nicotinic acid.

You're the physics professor, not me!

Well folks I got some good news here is my recent chat with bob:

[nbnewell]

Ok, you guys were right....

Bob unlocked the page for us:

http://www.geocities.com/foldednight/phenylhydroxylamine

it looks like pigpen

Angelus is decoding it as we type/read/whatever...

[Adam C]

Adam C says:
Phenylhydroxylamine is the key, then. What, pray tell, do you know of chemistry? Aside from Au, of course?
Bob says:
Do I know you?
Adam C says:
No, but I most certainly know of you.
Adam C says:
I am an associate of the angel of death and niceties aren't necessary.
Bob says:
Cannot say I do not find that a little concerning.
Bob says:
Ah.
Bob says:
That is all you had to say Adam.
Bob says:
You ask about my chemistry knowledge?
Adam C says:
Ah, well I said it before but you don't accept offline messages it would seem.
Adam C says:
I do.
Adam C says:
Call it a common interest.
Bob says:
I have a good knowledge of chemistry, I cannot tell you how though.
Bob says:
Maybe a story for a rainy day.
Adam C says:
When we find your gold, I'd like to move somewhere where rain is scant, so perhaps your story may never be told.
Adam C says:

Adam C says:
Over a cocktail one day, perhaps.
Adam C says:
Which should hold the only umbrella I'd need.
Adam C says:
But, don't presume I, or anyone, intends to take it.
Adam C says:
Aside from, well, Bill and Curly and Larry.
Adam C says:
the angel of death has grown fond of you, i, however, do not trust you
Adam C says:
I wonder about the motives of a man who has what others want and makes them earn it back.
Bob says:
I hope you do not expect a swift answer.
Adam C says:
The best answers are never so.
Bob says:
A man's motives are his own unless he chooses to reveal them.
Adam C says:
Too true. We are but a step ahead of the others, and our window grows smaller by the moment.
Bob says:
That's what makes it all the more exciting.
Bob says:
Don't you agree?
Adam C says:
For the others, maybe, but I find it hard to get excited when I am unsure of the outcome of my trials. Timid is a better adjective, for me, I think.
Adam C says:
Cautious.
Bob says:
There are no guarantees in life kid.
Adam C says:
Needless to say, you chose your ally wisely in angelus. For that we are all very grateful.
Adam C says:
Not true. Death is always a gauruntee.
Adam C says:
But then, I suppose, that wouldn't be in life, now would it?
Bob says:
Of course not.
Bob says:
Death is going to catch up to all one day.
Adam C says:
We are but mice and men, you good sir, our the cat.
Adam C says:
My key doesn't fit. You toy with us so.
Bob says:
You all are my toys in a twisted sense.
Adam C says:
I will bid you a good night and a reminder to be sure not to underestimate us. Your time is appreciated.
Adam C says:
Eventually, the puppet learns to walk without strings. You may call me Pinnochio.

Well folks this is what I managed to decode:

My next little chat with Bob:

[nbnewell]

Did he kill John?
Did he kill Ron?
Censored, censored.

His higher power lives in the woods, a hermit.

His life near ended, a carousel to lift his spirits.

Don't tell anybody anything, don't tell.

[Angelus78]

of course hidden in the source is this

[Adam C]

Hmmmmm

Ron and John were both presidents who had assassination attempts on them (Reagan and Kennedy), by John Hinkley, Jr. and Lee Harvey Oswolt, respectively.

The biggest link between these two is that both have resounding conspiracy theories and both, conveniently, have theories that are centered around George Herber Walker Bush.

Bush, of the CIA, had recieved in a memo signed by J. Edgar Hoover of the impending Kennedy assassination and also that Lee Harvey Oswald was a close friend of a close friend of Bush's. (Baron George de Mohrenschildt), who killed himself after being investigated on his ties to Oswald.

The Reagan attempted assination conspiracy holds a bit more water in the motive department, in that Bush was his vice president, Hinkley's brother and Bush's son, Niel, were to meet for dinner, the Hinkley family supported the Bush campaign with MILLIONS of dollars and both were oil tycoons from Texas, Bush was conveniently out of town, and the most damning evidence, the unproven reports of a "second CIA gunman" witnessed by a reporter. That's why the Reagan attempt is known as the Bushy Knoll.

So GHWB fits with the first two clues and the bits about not telling anybody anything (CIA). Now, what George Bush has to do with those other two clues is beyond me, but hey, I'm trying!

This is, as originaly thought by Angelus, Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger. However, this time, we are looking for the main character, rather than the Author's name and pseudonym.

Born in a new gate, a time long before
With a tale of two brothers,
A bankrupt man fleeing to france.
Incestual lies, about money it has always been.
From crumpets to cotton.
Who am I?

[Adam C]

Very nice. The next puzzle looks enticing.

[massive]

I hope you guys can figure this one out. Codes, I can do. Riddles about fictional characters, not so much.

My first thought was, "What the heck does 'born in a new gate' mean?" I translated the phrase 'new gate' to a bunch of languages, but the only thing that resembled a city name led me to Newport. Unfortunately, that didn't really turn up anything. =]
