    the internet is my brain, I dont know how sad it is to consider that an extention of my knowledge… or is my knowledge an extention of the internet… or is it simply the begining of the new creation. if all we are is filters in a datastream we call electromagnetism …then what is google?

    need to excorsise the brain before it turns to jelly anymore.

    ok and now for the coincidences if you used the AI to solve it.

    ****** = malice
    ******** = unchanged? but maybe in a different context the change is complete, like Hitler vs Celene Deon.
    is = before? does the time frame matter?

    I also used a system which gave scores relative to solving it,

    the first (-33.265) gives a google map coordinate without a name, but its in miami, the playground of hollywood, the birthplace of celebrities.

    The other (-34.47 inversed to 34.47) gives 3 hits of relative relevancy,
    1 = a US Governemnt page Title 12–Banks and Banking,
    2 = a page from the US nuclear regulatory Comittee on personel monitoring.
    3 = US Gov Dept of Labour: Notice of finding of noncompliance.

    perhaps a quick fit is the banks monitor personel who are noncomplient and notify the government, a nice little trinity if ever there was?

    and lets not forget that Jesus called money by the personification mammon…
    so mammon watches man and notifies ??? when man does not comply?

    see for yourself what the AI returns when asked…
    the AI’s name is http://www.blisstonia.com/shareware/WebDecrypto/

    ….this line is no longer secure…

    I shouldn’t say I totally didn’t understand your last post, Tim (or this one). I get the feeling you’r providing clues how you think we can stop being enslaved or become enlightened or whatever, but of course there’s the whole if-I-follow-you-I-am-a-slave thing. The point is I don’t understand much of your advice, whether or not I would want to follow it. Umm … is the AI, like, something to avoid (I won’t say “bad”)?

    Whoa, what the hell? There is no clue for number 14? How did that happen? That’s what I get for trusting the AI to make this, obviously

    I think it spells T - I - M if you notice the pattern. :)

    Then on it’s right side I see the face of Jesus … on the left the Misfits skull logo …
