It's the verse that talks about a house divided against itself cannot stand.

Didn't Lincoln quote that verse in one of his speeches?

I have no idea whether this means anything or not, but if you go to http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/4559/ex22lk0.jpg and look at the poem-image's page source information (i.e. click "View" on the toolbar and then "Page Source"), there's a url for the International Electrotechnical Commission repeated several times. It's on the first line of the page source information; just scroll wayyyy over to the right and you'll see it repeated twice, tucked in between the gobbledygook:

http://www.iec.ch/

But the IEC is obviously a reputable international group, so this link isn't an invented ARG site.

I'm not really interested in, as the people at Unfiction say, "going behind the curtain" (i.e. trying to out the puppetmasters rather than solve the game) -- but is there some normal internet reason why this url would be embedded in the poem's page source code?

When you View Source on an image, you're actually looking at the way a browser interprets the image's binary. Or something like that.

Anyway, the point is that I believe the web site at the top is a part of the image header that defines the image specification (instructions on how to display the image, etc.).

Actually, it's information stored in the image header. It may be nothing, but it appears that this was done a an HP machine, or with an HP developed algorith. And the standards from the image come from IEC. I also see adobe. It's encoded as true color.

Durn -- though I figured it probably didn't mean anything. Thanks anyhow!

It may mean something... I'm looking at it now. downloaded the image and looking at the source for that instead.
