Speaking of drinking games [OT here]

If you ever watch "American Chopper", take a good swig every time Paul Sr. says "I gotta be honest". You'll be drunk before the end of the first half hour.

Next Hint: Doodles/4

The next hint is up:
http://nru.us/images/doodles/4.jpg

Talax spec-ed the capital letters might mean something, there is a www in the string:

Quote:
<talax_zzzzZ> STWWSUOAUUTIWSTRSGATPHLDASD are all the capital letters... I notice there are 3 "W" (WWW)


I'm having trouble getting the whole string to run on wordsmith's anagram engine, at the moment the server is too busy to run it at the moment (11 pm Eastern). Maybe as America goes to sleep it will be able to take the whole thing.

Couldn't help myself, the Norwegian at the end of 4.jpg says:
"The answer is close
Dead is never finally"

Or The answer is close, Death is never final

My first impression of the image background is of Quetzalcoatl, but I have not yet found a matching photo of the artwork.

The background image is discussed here

Or can be found by searching in google for Ouroboros.

I think White Knight is on to something with the anagrams...
http www STSUOAUTISRSGALDAD us
is probably more likely than the other one:
http www STSUAUUTISSALDASD org

And a reminder that when Grumpy translated the outer ring it was www.Iru.us

so maybe we are looking at http www iru us/ STSOAUTSSGALDAD? to be anagramed?

Thanks for having faith that I have the slightest idea what I'm doing. Laughing

But:

1. Theres only enough letters to put dot in once so i doubt that they have the punctuation in there. Good thought though.

2. I'm begining to loose hope in this method, I think were chasing geese.

3. Because of point 2 I'll point out that, I can't realy take credit I just extended logicly on talax's idea of searching for web page bits in there and posted it up. and I think some one even mentioned the bit about org and us in the room at the time.......but let us all share the credit cause we are thinking about this way hard. I didn't put this much thought into my university project.

Anyway.....stuff....

Going with "http www STSUOAUTISRSGALDAD us"

Some sample anagrams:
TAURUS SADI LAST GODS
URIAL SAGAS DOT DUSTS
DOGSTAR SAID USA LUST
ATLAS STAR GUIDS US DO


So if ROT-ing isn't working, and anagramming is coming up short, what do we have left, the languages? Hebrew, Greek, Nowegian, English...

I really think we need to focus on the content rather than going on wild goose chases. We have a poem that drills "LIFE CYCLE" into our head. We have a puzzle with a circular lunar calendar. We have references to Enoch on the kickout sites - he made this circular calendar. We have references to Numerology, which has more circular calendar references.

Is everyone trying combinations with "nebra" as both the password and the username? I was at first but I got lazy. Maybe we need to.

Circling Nebra

OK one other thing to list in the tried and failed catagory:
Circle/cycles have been mentioned so I tried to cycle the letters of nebra
(i.e. ebran, brane, etc.) both forwards and backwards, and got kickout sites every time.

Also tried synonyms for Renewal (transformation based), also got kickout sites.

Y'all might wanna skip this solve, cause if you're anything like me you're gonna be kicking yourself into next week when you read it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
What are the pictures we got? The Nebra disk and the fourth horseman. We were confused why the fourth horseman kept showing up. It's because Reggie had used him before. My gosh, he even said half the name in his blog entry tonight. In Norwegian.

Blech.

Gotta go, there's a brick wall with a nice dent I've made with my head. Needs deepening.
