The beatles never broke up?

I was listening to the Rooster Teeth Drunk Tank today--they briefly mentioned the site http://thebeatlesneverbrokeup.com/ it sounds ARGish to me, but i don't have time right now to scan the site but i figured i'd post it here.

The guy can write. I'll give him that.
The pictures area of the site is interesting.
The iphone pics he took are where he says it all went down based on their GPS data (a turnout for a cattle pen) but were taken 2 days after the event.
As for the pics of the tape... One of them didn't get edited like the rest and shows it was taken in October of 2006.

Has he been contacted yet? Maybe it would be a good idea to say one of us had such an experiece but a more vague one. I'm gonna email him with my interest but I'll leave the story telling to someone else.

This sounds really exciting and cool, I'm in to the hilt on this.

He's also tracking visitors with JoomlaStats.

I'm laughing at The Story and his answers to questions in The FAQ. Gain, not sure this is a game or just someone with an active imagination sharing music (or harmful files). He should have given us a picture of his dog to go along with his story. Time will tell.

Okay, upon further review of the site i've found only one thing that stands out to me... i'm looking at the pictures in the picture section.

here as the sizes of the picture files
Quote:
The Area that It Happened
size: 480.29kb
A Hole in the ground
size: 639.63kb
Cassette Picture
size: 216.43kb
shot of where it happened pt. 2
size: 431.66kb
picture of the tape and its casset
size: 175.53kb
picture of Track List
size: 1099.29kb


Now the final one is the one that sticks out to me, because it is like quadrupal the size of all the other files (In both Pixels and File Size) i'm looking more into this right now.

Maybe destegging? but we still need a code if we're gonna extract anything. Let us know how you get on and try the track names, band name and whatever you can think of.

If you right click (w/ Firefox) and View Image, then view its properties, you'll see its a friggin huge pix. The res is 2832x2128!

I just noticed this in the story:

The uneven ground and soft dirt patches made it difficult to run and it wasn't very far into the chase I had stepped in a rabbit hole, fell and knocked myself unconscious.


He literally fell down a rabbit hole. Smile

LMAO! I didn't pick up on that the first time, that's hilarious! Rabbit hole, hehehe.

I think there's some destegging links in the tutorial on the forums. This should help.

I got nothing on the destegging... probably the wrong password lol. (I tried the first letter of every song, beatles, and Arpd)

and as for the bullet case in the rabbit hole... That's kinda odd. for some reason gives me the vibe that it was placed there instead of just landing there or something.

I was linked to this twice in the same day a few days ago. Really fascinating, but I don't think it's an ARG-- the writer hasn't really made an active effort to bring it to the public eye.

It's been sumitted to reddit-- http://www.reddit.com/r/Music/comments/a1i4i/this_guy_claims_that_in_an_alternate_universe_the/
--but no one seems to believe it. So I'm not entirely sure what to think. Only time will tell, I guess.

Possibly because he took it with a digital camera and had to shrink it down...? Although why he happened to have a digital camera with him in the middle of the desert I've no idea.
