Probably not required and/or redundant by now, but I thought I'd post my translations of the mottoes here (no one else here studied latin?):

quaesitum quaerere sapientiae initium est - the one I like best is "To ask a question is the beginning of (knowledge/wisdom)." Also could be "To seek that which was sought is...," "To obtain that which was sought is...," "To investigate the question is...," "To desire the extraordinary is...," "To think over (ie, meditate, plan) the question/that which was sought is..." etc etc.

quaerere sapientiae initium - "To (seek/search/look for/ask/desire/require/examine/think over) is the beginning of (knowledge/wisdom)."

It's gotta be a mistake tho - surely I am not alone in thinking that what we have been doing over the last coupla weeks is waiting for the next screen? Or is there still something to crack? I'm both new at this and simutaneously brain wracked and cynical already. I feel like I've been pulling desperately at each individual byte for my whole life... christ knows what the Vets feel like...

Hate to be a nitpicker, but the Bull statue in NYC is at the corner of Wall St and Broad St, not south on 5th ave (a good 2 or 3 miles south). The library does have a copy of Charlotte's Web that I'm going to check out at lunch time today, but I'm not holding my breath for anything.

[thrush]

Well, that goes to show it's important to be precise, especially in an ARG forum... I didn't mean that it was on 5th, which ends at Washington Square. Anyway it's probably a long shot.

brat, just to make it clear, 3pm in London on friday would be 2PM GMT, not 4pm as you thought earlier*(edited)*

I really think "district" is the important word- district always refers to a geographical location, whereas "zone" can imply a marked-out section of a map, ie time zone. So though i think there pribably will be a webcast and/or email, I think something is actually going to happen in greenwich, london on friday at 3pm London Time (BST at the mo). The webcast might even be live from there. so i think its worth going if you can- you won't miss much if there isn't anything there, cos emails/ webcasts can be accessed anywhere. If I can get off work early I may go along, as it's only about half an hour by bus from my dope den.. any other takers?

lol...i should be able to head over in about an hour. It's only 10:45 in the morning here and i just ran out to get a coffee a little while ago.

for the record, the Midtown Manhattan Library that had the postcard in Alice in Wonderland does not have a copy of Charlotte's Web. There is another library right across the street (Arts and Humanities Library) from that one that has the copy of the book (I checked their online catalog). Who knows...at least it gets me out of the office for a little while.

[dopefiend]

sorry all- what i meant to say was 3pm in current london time (BST) would by 2pm GMT... my head hurts now!

[JebJoya]

Hey, dopefiend, I'm planning to go down and to make a day of it as well with a few friends from here, I'll see how many I can convince to go then make plans as to where we're gonna go if anyone wants to join us

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 also posted this to the futures section.
Although I'm a newbie might I suggest splitting the general and updates section into 2 so it's easier to keep track of updates as they happen ?
Thanks
