i have tried variations on the binary idea and various aldous huxley stuff, with no luck. i even found a reference to somebody named falco as the noblest of the romans, and tried amadeus. i think i should get _something_ for that.

Did not Russell Crowe play a Roman in Gladiator?

Well that's great. Of course, there are only a few million romans' names we'd have to try. Down under sounds interesting though. And the capitalization too... TURND... no E... must mean something. Downe undere? bleh.

/me here.

Perhaps it meant that Colin was on the right track, being from Australia and all?

I'm pretty sure they're taking this opportunity to inform us that they think Scratch was Australian, so they suggest that we imagine his messages being read in a sexy Australian accent. What else could they be talking about? Very Happy

I'm following along, but can't really play actively right now (die, organic chemistry!). But I am actively cheering everyone on. Go team!

Ah yes, the sexy australian accent... of course. How could I forget? Razz
