Erm, do we want to split this topic into 2 posts?

Also, I guess we want everyone to check their local libraries for charlotte's web? I'll get my cambridge friends to check their libraries as well (OOG: given the PMs are cambridge based (so I've heard))

[spaceXplorer]

well, i just hope this thing happens somewhere around Hammersmith or Ealing, otherwise i'll struggle to get the time off!

actually...i'm starting to feel a bit unwell ~cough~ ~splutter~, perhaps i'll need to have the day off after all

On what I'm sure is a completely unrelated note, it just happens to be my birthday on Friday so I'll see if I can use that to wrangle a trip to where-ever is necessary, or at least the afternoon off

I would definitely advocate someone taking a trip to NY library and looking at Charlotte's Web.

Maybe there's something in the story... certain words are written into the web - perhaps we can use these to advantage. Could be a web page off perplexcity.com... or something. These are the words - in order.

Also, Charlotte has an egg sack at one point - her Magnum Opus. I have the niggling feeling I've heard that in conjuction with PC before. There were 514 eggs in it, if that helps.

I am mildly annoyed that it all starts on the day that I'm moving away from London. Really, it's very inconsiderate of the PMs not to have consulted me on my plans. Clutching at straws, maybe the Charlotte's web thing is pointing us to the web, maybe they'll hve found a place with a webcam again. Frankly I think we'll have more luck searching every library on the planet.

Tbh, I think there's only a few major libraries that are likely to have anything... NY, London, Cambridge, maybe a few other capitals? Meh, worth a look though?

I was about to say something along the lines of how many libraries there were in Cambridge, let alone London, but then boredom took over and I decided to check which Cambridge libraries have copies of Charlotte's web. For the record, the university library has 3 copies (different editions), Homerton college and the department of education library both have one (makes sense really) and the public library has copies in both english and french. Sorry, couldn't think of anything better to do with my time. If it is a pointer to a book in a library and they haven't told us the library elsewhere, then I would guess that they wouldn't leave us to check all the ones we can think of, I would put it in the one from the video. Then again, I can't understand the futures at all and don't hold out much hope for the finding a specific book somewhere theory. But tis all fun.

i started looking at the futures section and knowing there has been an acrostic before I started to have a look and what jumped out at me were the 3 W's...perhaps pointing to a website address? Would fit in with the idea of not taking a step but going on a journey.

Tried ROTing the acrostic...nowt
Tried 1st letter, 2nd letter of second etc and ROTing...nowt
Tried using the dreaded postcard number (as it's 24 letters thought that each pair might refer to a letter count in with the 00 as a space)...guess what?

Nowt

even after ROTing
