So, I take it there is no third word ending in -gry in common current English,
at least according to WIkipedia

The comprehensive list can be found here

It's word play.

"There are three words in the english language"
End of riddle, the third word is Language. Everything else is just to trip you up,

"that in -gry, angry and hungry are two of them." Is misdirection, there is no third common word.

EDIT: Chatting up Donovan right now.

Not sure how to add a text file to this. Maybe someone could tell me later?

Anyways; here is what happened;

I talked to him about the Jonah is Alive message a bit. He seemed surprised to hear that.

Talked about CADIE, he was a little freaked out that his company is supposedly run by a computer.

We talked about the log file, he mentioned that it could be incomplete. [Clue hammer?]

Niada saw that the company might be run by a computer and she fainted. He asked what to do. I told him that she would come to in a bit, she did. We talked a bit more. Then he left.

All in all, interesting.

Bumping to keep that other post uncluttered;

New twitter;
"Don't Wait! Act Now!"

I'm thinking that Wait and Patience is a Virtue are hints to solving the code in that latest picture.

Another twitter.

It's spanish for "Make a trip to the library."

Looks like the first part of that image is the Arnold Cipher again. What's the source/reference document though?

Second part, in CADIE's Favorite, base64, is ".co.cc" (link just goes to Wikipedia on .co.cc TLD)

I think this'll lead us to another web address. We just need to know what the source document is. Maybe the log?

EDIT: Nope, not the log -- it doesn't have pages, so the whole thing breaks down.

Maybe we're supposed to go back to Dante's Inferno again?

EDIT2: Based on this assumption (and the need to take a library trip,) I've asked Scipio26 (in Spanish; when in Rome...) how we are to know if we have the same version of the book in question. That would be key for deciphering the code.

Unless it's Canto, Line, Word.....hmmm...

EDIT3: (man, I'm really pushing it. Should I just double-post? I know that's a cardinal sin of the internet.)

Latest tweet says "DANTE IS NO TRAITOR." I think that confirms my theory about the code pretty well.

I found those words to be Other Side. But they didn't work.

Edit; My bad. That should be "be heaved"

Hmm. "Patience is a virtue."

Thinking of that in the context of the Divine Comedy, two things leap to mind: first, Limbo. Second, Purgatory. Maybe we're looking in the wrong volume?

But then again, it could just be that we need the exact same edition that Scipio26 has. Kinda a retarded way to do it -- you're supposed to send the cipher reference page with the cipher, but that's just me being picky.

Doesn't work, neither Purgatory or Paradise have the right amount of words in that those lines.

28.80.6 and 28.80.7 and going to the library remind me of the Dewey Decimal System, but I don't think the format is correct.
A quick search of the above numbers at www.ipl.org yields an error message about technical difficulties in spanish, which could explain why "[we] may need to wait."

EDIT: On Second thought..may have jumped the gun... still looking

if we look at canto 28, line 80, word 6 and 7, in an english version of the divine comedy, you get:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
pirates done

But don't know if it is what we are looking for

edit: I had looked in the wrong canto Razz
edit2: nah, I think this is not the way... in italian, line 80 in canto 28 has just 6 words, and looking a direct translation of it it has 6 words too, and the same for the cantos in purgatory and paradise
edit3: and looking the same line (infierno, c28 l80) in a spanish version, we get again a line with just six words
edit4: I just found an original italian version of the divine comedy online, and tried looking at page 26, line 80, but there are only about 50 lines!

Ok, I just got followed by Scipio26. This looks fun. Now trying to catch up.

Anyone have a clue what the relationship is between the use of Spanish and Dante Alighieri and his Inferno?

Tried using Cadie's numbers to find an ISBN nbr. with no success and Heya Merago.

Words 6 & 7 (from Here) are "La Cattolica",

In the source is this:-
