I think they just all need to go in on one big "family share plan" and work this whole thing out.

haha ok thats dumb Im sorry.

LOVE IT!
Maybe that "Can you hear me now?" guy will pop in and save the day.

I dunno, I kinda thought that the images/animations brought some new life to what would have otherwise been another boring rant.

So . . . maybe there's a connection? Maybe Mr. Zipp will show up to help save the day (or ruin it, as the case may be)?

Did anyone else catch the sob?

Sack, are you saying "sob" as in a type of crying, or "S.O.B." as in son-of-a-bitch? Your sentence could be interpreted in two vastly different ways, depending on what you meant.

It better be a code is all I have to say, really, because that entire video left me sitting there confused as to whether or not I should hate the boys, hate Bree, or think Jonas was cute as hell for being all concerned over her.

Sure, they're mad at Bree for getting in the car with Lucy and whoever -- But Bree exchanged some sort of words with the Order before getting in so who knows what's said.

When Daniel was lost, however, and Bree was supposedly going to sacrifice herself for him and had to recruit Tachyon and Brother to help them get him out of there, Daniel had gotten into the situation because he was drunk and it was one of his many forays out to go drinking underage all alone in unnamed locations making himself not only totally helpless but also completely vulnerable.

!!!!

I would have been so MAD. A LOT angrier than Jonas is with Bree for just getting into a car and maybe having a reasonable explanation. I think it's silly how angry he is with her. Bree might not be the brightest crayon in the box, but at least she's not drunk and disappearing in the middle of the night leaving them no idea where she is.

So, I hope it's a clue. Because otherwise, I sort of want to punch Jonas, lol.

Assuming you meant Jonas's little sniffle, yes
I wanted to give him a hug

Edit to add:
Are we supposed to assume they are still in Texas? It kind of sounds like they are, but Jonas is also talking to Taylor like he couldn't talk to her in real life, and Sarah's blog says that BDJ were staying in a motel near Taylor and Sarah's house.

interesting vid. I hope there's some elaborately hidden message, because the people on this site always amaze me with their code cracking skills. Go code-crackers, and clue finders!!!!!

There is a numerical code here.

Mt. Whitney, CA is not 14,000 feet in elevation; it is 14,505 feet.

Mt. Everest is not 29,000 feet in elevation; it is 29,028 feet.

Olympus Mons is not 78,000 feet in elevation; it is 88,585 feet.

The first two examples could just be rounded-figures, but the third? He's off by more than 10,000 feet.

That was boring. There's definitely a phone number or something in there. But I don't know what it is. Apo's post above is interesting. If there's nothing in the numbers he gave us, could the code be in the difference between them and the factual numbers?

PS: Was there a new Taylor video I missed? Could we start putting them in the video section? Link anyone??

Well. As much as I would like it to be some kind of code, he did say 'I think' when talking about the height. But, he DOES have the internet, and he was right about the other two, soooo it's either an accident and he doesn't/didn't know the height, or he DOES and he's done that on purpose.

Good find, Apo! Now ... what do we do with it? XD

anyone think of all the numbers jonas mentioned as possible phone numbers? they include:

1500 miles
3 miles (14,000 feet)
4 miles (29,000 feet)
14 miles (78,000 feet)
25miles/hour

i tried a few combinations in google to see what came up, but nothing is looking like a California phone number. i dont know, i'm probably wrong about this, but hey...worth a shot.

ha, okay i'm way behind the curve here.

Lurker · Post by **Lurker** » Mon May 14, 2007 8:47 pm

Okay, the last time we were given something like this (where the numbers didn't match up the way they were supposed to), we were supposed to use the incorrect numbers to solve the puzzle. Maybe that's the case here as well.

All this is assuming that there even is a puzzle, of course.
