from @PrometheusMovie

"On this day in 2026, Weyland Industries earns patent 9,158,239 for an Advanced Polyurethane Compound. #PrometheusTrivia bit.ly/GMGsam"

If this date is important, maybe that's why they had to drop so many hints yesterday to get us to solve the passwords so that we could move onto this puzzle on the correct date?

Not sure on anyone else, but I can't get past 2064 now on the timeline.

From the Weyland Timeline:

Weyland Industries earns patent number 9,158,239 for a chemical composition of classified properties able to almost perfectly replicate the biological features and texture of human skin.

When it says "earns patent 9,158,239" or whatever, I take that to mean that it is Weyland's 9,158,239th patent an not a patent number itself, as they wouldn't have commas in them.

So what chemicals compose the perfect replica of human skin ?

I assume we have to find that out and apply it to the element table we have in the investor info.

With these amateurs...?

Pah! I say just let them drip their 'clues' from their twitter feed and keep these boards clean from their awfully novice attempts at this.

I hope the film doesn't suffer from this type of ineptitude.

Remember...It doesnt say US patent...

This could be anything since the patents are different in the UK (assuming Weyland is UK) than the US.

it appears that the advanced polyurethane compound dated today + the weyland fingerprint (coming soon on the web site and also on the email) & david 8 video may be converging to something else down this path.

in spoiler tags in case it may lead to something without solving a puzzle per se. putting a theory together from an earlier news source:
http://insidemovies.ew.com/2012/03/18/prometheus-promo-fassbender/
:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Of course, the tricky part about viral advertising is allowing people to discover it themselves. Just as Lindelof is finishing the previous thought, Scott pipes in: "There's another [ad] coming, selling a product of Weyland Corporation which is for all intents and purposes a human being, called David. We talk about the Weyland Corporation and we never mention the film at all. But at the end, he puts his finger on the screen –"
Lindelof interrupts: "Don't give it away!" So when will we see this full ad? "I don't know what the plan is," Lindelof says, shooting Scott a wide-eyed look. "I didn't even know we were allowed to talk about it." Scott grins: "Oh dear." <- end quote

so perhaps we are to expect either a continuation of the david video or another video coming up shortly.

I've a feeling they're scrambling behind the scenes to make this thing work, and not doing a very good job of it.

This is pointless. I'm close to losing interest

I believe also Have you discovered the rich history of Weyland Industries? (@UK_Prometheus) has something to do with it.
