 		Reticuli - Reticula - Reticulum - Rediculus!!
Noun

1. Reticulum - a small constellation in the southern hemisphere near Dorado and Hydrus

2. reticulum - any fine network (especially one in the body composed of cells or blood vessels)

reticula is the plural of reticulum?

Reticulum is plural as in a collection of, say "Stars". As in a collection of or constellation of Stars, hence the constellation Reticulum.

Am I getting this right? Learning as I go.

Now Reticuli...that's another matter.

Zeta Reticuli (ζ Ret, ζ Reticuli) is a binary star system in the southern constellation of Reticulum. From the southern hemisphere the pair can be seen as a naked eye double star in very dark skies. Based upon parallax measurements, this system is located at a distance of about 39 light-years (12 parsecs) from the Earth.

Peter Weyland We apologize for the mistake. This was wrote by one of our new "David" Android. He was thinking too much about "steel" we're guessing. It is "still". Obviously.

 		Fore or For whatever reason.

Homonyms are "steel" a bug in the David androids, that still have yet to be addressed, amended, or fixed.

Buyer or Investor....BEWARE!

*Note: In my College English Writing Class we call those that are ignorant of homonyms, Idiots...not Androids.

But change is afoot...soon "Idiot" will be synonymous with "Android" and vice a versa

 		I have been lurking since Day One and it has been a great pleasure to see the many talented minds at work. Thank you.

Has anyone noted the connection with Frankenstein; The Modern Promethues and the restarting of a dead brain?

What a novel way for a great man, or even a King, to deny the inevitable by restarting his brain in perhaps an Android?

Once the first great man, or even a King, has passed his return would be a new reign. A second King. David was the second King of Jerusalem.

Hi, I will take mine baked or fried if you can show me where..

Peter Weyland on fakebook? Rolling Eyes When was this determined to be in game?


Just to make sure we are following the right.... obscure...nonsensical.. crumbs here.





These trailer pieces are starting to "show"

This is only speculation...



Yeah, my thoughts exactly. It could still be a new "pattern", but it's noteworthy for mentioning some of the stars of the Reticulum constellation, specially the Zeta Reticuli system already referenced. However, those aren't the only ones suspected of harboring life:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/82_Eridani
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliese_86

Out of these two, 82 Eridani has more planets, not to mention it's part of the Eridanus constellation, home of Epsilon Eridani: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epsilon_Eridani

And btw, shouldn't Zeta1 and Zeta2 be referenced as "Reticuli" together, anyway? It's a binary system, which is why they have the 1 and 2 denominations... As much as Reticula is a plural of Reticuli, it seems off.

Learning Latin, through an ARG? I wouldn't have thought...

Also Jane, that's a beautiful pregnant lady, thanks for posting. I bet her baby will grow to be just as cute as her mother.

Very interesting. I had tweeted that maybe Peter was always an android that had been guiding human development until he could make David and send him home. But your thought that he is a genius who becomes David seems more in character for Peter- who wants to control everything looks like.

On June 1st it will all become clear... #areyouseeingthis.

There is only one timeline entry for June 1:

Cure for the Common Cancer
Scientists from the Health Division identify the genetic chain of events for 98% of cancers. Using genetically-altered cells as well as elements found beyond Earth's heavens, Weyland successfully deploys an effective cure for almost all cancers.

June 1, 2022

Has that part about "elements found beyond Earth's heavens" always been there? And if it hasn't, is it again pointing to the resource table as the next clue?

We have gone over the connection to Frankenstien, the unorthodox scientific experiment.. And I am mashing up this with other movies..but.

God creates man,
Man creates Machine,
God punishes man for playing God
Machine takes over and destroys man
David becomes king...

..woman inherits the earth.. wait what??? Shocked



And we can fit the movie in here with ..ehh..someone trying to steal...things Wink And a new... bio-mechanical creation... and a couple of androids evolving.. but i just talk outta my ass half the time.. so no one should listen to jane von foilhat. Flaming Nutter




How many months left of "screenshots" we got left? these mo'fo's better up the ante...I think most of us old' timers have gone into lurk mode Sad

Not sure if it's related to the viral at all. June 1st is the UK release date for Prometheus.

Twisted Evil Although, I still don't remember that part about elements being there before...

Yes, it has: http://alienseries.blogspot.com/2012/03/weyland-industries-timeline.html
I've been using this blog as a quick text reference for the timeline, and it hasn't been edited since it was first posted a week ago, but it says the exact same thing:

Also earlier I pointed out some similarities with Lovecraft's The Case of Charles Dexter Ward in the use of alchemy to extend life or even reincarnate in another body, which adds up to what Quaker pointed out, Frankenstein The Modern Prometheus and brain restart, but what about the Sumerians?

http://www.gatewaystobabylon.com/religion/eternal.htm

Quote:
Adapa, in his first brilliant article on Sumerian religion (the series of his essays also in this site as Adapa´s Treatise on Sumerian Religion) says that reincarnation is a concept suitable for the Mesopotamians because it was so real and explicit that it was not worth reporting the striking obvious. The Mesopotamians, he adds, took painstaking notes of the coming of the sunrise and sunset every day, the return of the seasons, the planets and the stars, always revolving and returning to charted points in the skies. Thus, they did believe that everything was cyclic, and probably considered life and death as such as well.


Apparently they were so "advanced" that reincarnation was pretty much a given for them.

And all of this creation.. star rotation....reincarnation..can be linked to Nibiru ....
