 		Re: Mr Cartwright and Mr Wilson
Mr Shhh's brother wrote:
and Colonel Robert Wilson was credited for claims of sighting and photographing the Loch Ness monster.

so we have references for the names Cartwright and Wilson,


Nothing conclusive yet, but interesting connections.

I'm going along with the growing idea that the 'coelacanth' is a coded reference for some other creature, for the reasons already cited. References to cryptozoology like Loch Ness also dabble in my continuing hunch that this beastie may be something considered extinct by science but not so. Or perhaps something mistaken for an extinct species.

Good work everyone!

Jeez, between fish blogs and Tron arcade game postcards, this is going to be a BUSY summer for ARG play!

Interesting.......... Is it real??

I also looked at the lunar calenders - The trouble is NONE of them really match, but are close approximations of one another (I have no idea how they define the peak hours). In this "close approximation" regard Josh's calender is similar and led me to place less weight on it. BTW - Not been updated for July... Rolling Eyes

I just watched the video you were talking about:

EDIT: If you pause the uploaded "I love you mom" video at 13 seconds it has a comment that says "a=b"


YouTube: Link

If you click on the user's name and look at his recent "liked" videos, it is of a video of a prehistoric fish, the coelacanths, that has been found. Good find on your part. I subscribed to the channel in case anything else happens. I actually thought the video he uploaded was kind of creepy lol. I was expecting something to pop out and scare me XD.

(His "liked" video):

Even his age is right on.

 		Re: Another Josh Sighting-meemi.com
I noticed the "Nffnj" comment as well but can't make heads or tails of it yet. I've also been trying to replace "a" with "b" in the different files on STIES.com but nothing has worked yet. Any other places where replacing "a" with "b" might be applicable?

 		(If real) Nffnj is a cipher to whoever he is communicating with.

Essentially there aren't massess of words in the pattern given (like Noons).
I had a play with transcribing it to numerical format (14,6,6,14,10) and using both golden ratio (1,6,1,8,0) or Fibonacci (1,1,2,3,5) as keys. Unfortunately doesn't appear to be a simple addition/subtraction problem.

Maybe use the RARE FISH date??

More playing required Wink

 		A=B works as a key to a caesar cipher for the comment, which gives us...
"Oggok?"

That's it I think. As shown above, he has a profile on "http://meemi.com/hooklineandminker/wf"

Edit: Any reason the Meemi profile is now set to private or am I missing something? I clicked the link earlier and was able to view it, but now I can't.

 		Take it with a grain of salt.
The user joined June 30, 2010, and posted the video the same day.

Uncertain. Shady. I smell gamejack.

If you're referring to me; I didn't post the video, I merely joined to reply to the person who found it...
