  1. original article on Please Patiently Ponder Purported Poe Puzzle · · Score: 1

    here is the original article, with the letter of W.B. Tyler: http://www.eapoe.org/works/essays/gm41sw03.htm

    what bothers me is that if you use 6 alphabets you get 6 * 26 = 156 different characters.
    Tyler (Poe?) speaks in its letter of a 130 different characters used in this cipher...
    (5*26)....

    I also saw that the first paragraph of the article written by Edgar is exactly 130 characters (coincidence?)

  2. Re:reversed words....no on Please Patiently Ponder Purported Poe Puzzle · · Score: 1

    I think the rvv word has a different v's one normal and one small capital v. look closely.

  3. Stupid shows! on Life After Y2K - MTV's 'Adams and Eves' · · Score: 1

    This is currently been done in Holland. 8 morons are locked up in a small building for 100 days, with camera's all over the place. Program is aired every day and on the internet (http://www.big-brother.nl). Every 2 weeks someone has to leave the building. Winner is the one who stays till the end. They have 8 days to go. Viewers decide who has to leave and who wins grand prize of about $ 125.000 . The TV-show is actually a big commercial success. The idea however is a major rippoff from an originally swedish tvshow.
