About 2 months ago people started recieving an email from two people claiming almost everyone in the world is a fake and giving some cryptic clues about how to find them on the web. After following a 20 step algorithm you get the url: four24.freeservers.com (which is now down and I can't find an archive of it). One person who did see the site had this to say:

" Well, the contents here were so arrogant and snooty, it would hardly be worth the effort to try to communicate. They seem like they would make good fanatics if they had a better ideology. At least they are dedicated to their beleifs, which is more than I can say for most people. Oh well. I'll write them one day if I feel particularly bored or argumentative. :)"

So maybe this isn't very interesting except for the fact that they sent a new email. The email was from Beothukan Aeschynanthus. Beothukan is the language of the Newfoundland aborigonals while Aeschynanthus is a large genus of old world tropical herb. This page has some other names they have sent emails under and what the words mean. I haven't quite decided whether the choice of names has any meaning or if they were just chosen randomly from a word list.

The second email gives you a list of words: perfect, theory, endless, eternal, desire, ambition, driving, perpetual, idea, logical, infinite, dream, final, best, escape, objective, thought, only, logic, clue and asks you to input all possible combinations into a major search engine (order doesn't matter) and one of the combinations will get you to their site. One thing I find funny is that of the search engines they list that will find their webpage, Google isn't one of them :)

Where this will go from here? No clue, but I thought it was interesting enough to pass it on to you. Posted by adam at June 27, 2002 08:55 PM
