Cute page source

The first page titled "Beware the Shadows..." includes this:

It looks better on the source - it's a full alien head with the word "further" in the chin.


The second page is titled "Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do" but doesn't have anything cute in the source.

@Amandel: In the picture of alien, where did the word regine come from? When I go to that link I just see the words "You will be contacted"

Just noticed that the signup page gave a box for "UF Handle". Would that be considered breaking the curtain, or would that be acceptable?

EDIT: Just signed up myself. Few random notes: if you go directly to the form submission script with no arguments passed, it displays a message saying "*tsk tsk*". However, if you pass one or more arguments it displays an unformatted version of the alien image.

EDIT the second: Emailed "e" (eSPLATtwiw.net) and sent this:

You talk about contact. Let's start with a little: who are you?

Contact?

Twice since entering my info and giving my phone number I have received a call from 231-732-2640. Can anyone confirm if this is IG or just a coincidence of a call from a telemarketer?

Unfortunately, just a telemarketer.

OK this one is DEFINITELY contact. Call from a restriced #. Muffled voice left message:

"At this point" is just my best guess at what was said at the end. Too muffled to be understood clearly. Call came it at 834PM Central

im in.

not sure if its a total red herring, but i did look up 'howzer' on amazon. i found a book called The Truth and looking at the summary it appears to have something to do with landing on Mars, which could be the alien link. in the character list there is a General Howzer.

considering this whole 'the truth is easy' theme, could it be promo for this new book? it is supposed to be a trilogy.
