I work about a block from the library in new york (40th and 5th). I ran over on a "coffee break" to check it out today, and they don't have a copy of Charlotte's Web at that location. There is however, another library right across the street that has a copy...unfortunately it was closed today for some reason. I'll try to check it tomorrow.

Actually I think the library is probably the going to be the answer, or at least one of them. The info from a whois on www.perplexcitysentinel.com shows:

As a side note, I don't think they're parked. I think the Go Daddy screens are copied. Do a google on "Go Daddy coming soon" without the quotes and pick a few out, view the source, and compare. The source on mine includes my IP. Somebody better with pages might tell me what that means? The normal Go Daddy pages don't do that...

Edit: The library and the academy both show the Go Daddy screens but at the very bottom it says parked by sedo.com. The ceretin site doesn't say this nor does it have the source differing from the other Go Daddy sites like the other two do. Just noticed that...

self

- The academy is already discussed here, here, and here. I'm leaving all this up in case others missed it, plus I'm curious as to the non-standard coding of the Coming Soon screens.

Well, I think we know for sure that Madame Bianca will be forecasting.

Hi Gang
Error here, living in London and getting dangerously drawn into the cubism.
Here are some things from the book that Charlotte did with her web:

http://www2.lhric.org/pocantico/charlotte/chpt11.htm
http://www2.lhric.org/pocantico/charlotte/chpt13.htm
http://www2.lhric.org/pocantico/charlotte/chpt18.htm

Probably Red herrings but some kind of web communication sounds likely to me.
I've also posted this to the updates section.

Think the delay was coincidence.

Mima e-mailed scarlett and got a mention...not sure what the time delay was, but I would have said it was less than 12 days.

Much more likely that it's an illustration of drip-feeding rather than an alternative calender.

I tried my uni library and got a copy out, rather old and battered, not really much I can do with it other than read it though... To be honest I just got it for reference to any charlotte's web-related clues...

Someone mentioned in another thread that the Charlotte's thing is :

use the web to communicate

Which is exactly what she did. I am going with that. I think the get to the library is just referencing the fact Bianca is talking about a story book. Otherwise people would be trawling Good Charlotte fan sites =P

Hi folks. I'm new and possibly crazy.

The line "And remember, the most amazing journey happens without taking a step" sounded to me like it was asking me to take the first word of each fortune (given the solution to a previous fortune puzzle, this didn't seem unreasonable).

Then the text of some fortunes seem to suggest manipulations or placements of the words, e.g. the clues for the Wave and the Archer suggest that the word from the Hand is bad and needs to be changed (I took "bitten" to mean shortened, so "It's" becomes "It"). "spheres don't rest against a wall easily" could mean that the word from the Three Balls is not placed beside the word from the maze. Deleting the second "you" as a duplicate, the most coherent answer I could get was.

Feels close, but not quite right.
