[Puzzle][SOLVED] Morse Code WHY Oct 2nd/3rd 2006

I can't help thinking the first halves of the last two lines (oy, mouthful!), when unscrambled, form the exact same phrase, except 5 has the word "in" and 6 replaces it with the word "to". The huge similarity in letters seems like too great a coincidence for it to make very different phrases, especially when the second halves are also only a word off. I really think it's parallel structure, like, "blah blah blah in [thy/the/her/?] father's name/blah blah blah to [thy/the/her/?] father's shame", or something similar. But, then again, my own disasterous attempts to solve it culminated with my unusable leftover letters hilariously forming the word "idiot", so maybe I should take that as a hint and shut up....

edited and re-edited and re-re-edited because I'm a nitpicker, not to mention far too tired to make any sense.

hey guys...very long time lurker (been watching since the second LG15 vid was up), but first time poster...think i might have this though...could the last line be:

I try to hide to the father’s shame

Doesn't flow and doesn't seem to make sense in context to the rest

How so? It flows better then it did before.

mobilesskwrking, what do you think about the "absorbs" and "bares" question in line 4?

mobilesskwrking · Post by **mobilesskwrking** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 5:08 am

i think it works better than "rote it" or "tore it," but since i'm a first time poster, i'll let you guys decide...just trying to be helpful!

Would the picture be of any help to determine how many words and length? Or was that out and I missed it? If so, I'll edit.

The "to the father's shame" seems too odd. If you could remove the "to" it would make more sense. If you could

i really doubt that it would switch to first person in the last couplet.

as far as the absorbs and bares question, i think absorbs works better..."bares both's sin" seems strange grammatically...wouldn't it be "bares both's sins" (plural sins)...

Yes...actually, it would be. Thanks for pointing that out

Although...maybe not.

Not if they both commited the same sin.
