I now have two questions:

1. [SPEC]What would make an AI have Freudian slips? Rogue process? Virus? Some personality vestige from the underlying source brain?

2. [SPEC?]Is it reasonable for the enhottenators to get to 776 hots and stop for a sec? What happens if we stop at 776 and issue a demand for information of some kind? Would that give "us" any leverage against the Queen in any way? Or Melissa? Given that their underlying motivations are unclear, or possibly negative, is there any way for us to milk the situation for more info to make a beneficial choice?

Okay, three:

3. [SPEC]If Perdita == Melissa, doesn't she have an awesome reason to be looking for revenge?

We need another flash of inspiration. What nusery story involves a hand and boot. hmmm a boot for a hand is a glove. Puss 'n Boots is a boy story. (comma at the end for 'n)

What about the sounds? As I look at these, they seem more like atmosphere, but perhaps there's some relationship I'm missing.

Just noticed a misplaced period in Chap 3:

Nice find, Johnny. I now have the following suspicious words:

boot
hand
in
together
. (a period)

Google's not turning up anything too interesting, no stories with boots, hands and little girls. However, the phrase "boot in hand" seems to turn up a lot in military fiction.

thumb,
eye,
foot,
hair,
hand,

Anybody make anything out of these body parts?

I guess this is kind of off-topic because it isn't about the new 404 page, rather the previous one. I noticed the first sentence in her answer to Naptikon was another grammatical mistake.

Fiddled around with the suspicious words in URLs, didn't find anything. However, I didn't exhaust all possible permutations, either, just stuff that would look similar to previously discovered URLs.

No joy, but what the hey...

Also from chapter 2:

like a pile of forks dropping into a tin pot

ALL are the sound of metal, but the first two are stone-metal or glass-metal, but metal is common to all...

They corrected one typo, but left the others, so 'supwiddat? There's something there, but maybe we don't have all the pieces yet.
