needlessly enigmatic... grrrrrr

I honestly have no idea what to do with the email codes. I've tried every code type I'm familiar with, and none of them match the output of this. It can't be the Discordian cipher as a) the numbers are not in order and most importantly b) you need to know the message to break the message.

Have to love the Discordian Catch 22 LOL

I'm still very curious as I love breaking codes, but this one is stumping me. After looking at the initial email more I'm thinking it may not be a clear cut sub cipher.

My main reason for this is the 666, 333, and 222 which show up a few times. Don't know of many three letter words that are all the same letter Wink

But this does bring up the question as to wither this is words coded into numbers or if each number is a single letter.

I'm kinda leaning to the latter if that's the case, mostly because of the very small amount of punctuation used. It looks to be about 3 sentences.

Possibly a book cipher with the numbers representing the nth letter (or word, I guess) in the text?

IF that's the case then I would say the first book I would try is the Principa Discordia.

Anyone have a copy?

Tried a light approach. Got a pun as reply which doesn't look integral to the decoding. Sad

Least it didn't say the cake is a lie....but there's still time.

The multiple numbers, could they be filler maybe?

I thought maybe it was a literal clue as in a .jar file, which is a Java Archive file. Java archive files can be opened like any zip file. Other than converting gas.jpg to gas.jar or maybe saving the numbers into a .txt then converting to .jar I don't know how that could help us as a clue.

This is not my turf, was just googling (well, technically yahooing) around and there was this....would it maybe apply if this is discordian related?
