Paths

Thinking about how the puppet-masters may keep the trail from being solved till the videos are all out.
What if all four pirates finish in completely different locations.
The solution would be a suitably piratical one. Join the dots and "X Marks the Spot."

twitter website - do we have confidence not legit
feathers

Did someone previously say that this is not legit? I mention it in any event because of the reference to Greenwood Cemetery. Even assuming it isn't legit, it's a cute story. (And I'm intrigued by the "stop searching the dark" clue.) You'll recall the Taharis were searching the dark as they tried to spy each other's flickering light across Central Park.

DISPATCH FROM A BIRD-FRIENDLY BOROUGH

Parrots Have Colonized the Wilds of Brooklyn

Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, December 28, 2006
NEW YORK -- Alex Joseph, a West Indian-born parks worker, rakes the lawn at the grandly gothic Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn when he and his fellow laborers hear what sounds like a flock of sea gulls dive-bombing at their heads. The workers instinctively duck and whip round and look up and see -- those crazy green parrots, expertly mimicking the sea gull's caw.

"Man, they do that a couple times a week just to play with our minds," Joseph said, grinning wide and shaking his head. "They are a crazy bunch of immigrants, those birds."

They are the wild parrots of Brooklyn, these emerald-feathered yakkers with the wisenheimer sense of humor. Thought to be long-ago escapees from a container at John F. Kennedy International Airport, their ranks replenished by unauthorized releases from pet shops, the parakeets -- originally from Argentina -- have become accomplished city dwellers. There is a parrot colony along the Hudson River cliffs in New Jersey and another bunch that prefers Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx. Of late, two arrivistes have taken up residency on an apartment ledge on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

But mostly these are Brooklyn parrots, content in their adopted borough of 2.5 million people.

"They are successful Brooklynites, in that they are adaptable, eat a wide variety of foods and like to talk," says Eleanor Miele, a professor at Brooklyn College who lives in the Park Slope neighborhood and has found herself entranced by the parrots.

Couldn't this mean to search where there is light...(sunlight, lampposts, etc.) The ninja does disappear with a poof of light in the episodes.

The ninja's numbers/dark clue is probably for folks still looking for the lampposts.

And, the new video is up!

Ah, poor Crothers

Just as I supposed, "the severed hand of a dead sailor" foreshadowed the death of poor Crothers.

It seems that this establishes the chronology of this episode as being after 6 and before 4. At least, Crothers did not appear ghostly to me in episode 4.

But just what be a clue here is not terribly obvious.

Lucky Jack

To start with, anyway, Lucky Jack is Jack Aubrey, once again from Master and Commander. And "Thirteen Gun Salute" is the 13th book in the Jack Aubrey series. And "The Wine-Dark Sea" is another. But what happened in the top mainsail when his soul was swallowed by hell?

Note that searching for "lucky jack" on wikipedia gets you something quite different. I'm pretty sure that is not what they had it mind. Or maybe they did, but it is not the clue.

Well on Wikipedia searching Master and Commander I found this:

In many of the novels, Maturin is fond of identifying and discussing biological finds. Among those discussed in Master and Commander are:

M. de Buffon's Jocko,[3] a chimpanzee[4]
Malpolon monspessulanus, a snake described to be "two fathoms long"[5]

Maybe that explains the chimpanzee monkey and the snake serpent. But there is probably more to it.

Two fathoms=12 feet.

I think he is referring to the old philosophical joke.
here is one version of it.

Back to the Dead Man's Hand

A severed hand features in The Hundred Days, another in the series.
