Yup - your right - and an 89 in front of the name! Tom Hanks has nothing on us! We've broken the code....

...

uhm... so, what have we discovered? And did we save the world by doing so? And when's Dan Brown going to visit us to investigate for his next book?

I'm a relative newbie!

Little did I know that this 'thing' I have uncovered is a hidden piece to a millennia-old puzzle that the Illuminati have been searching for years to find... Jeeze, fellas, what am I gonna do? They'll be after me in a matter of days after discovering this thread. HEEEEELLLLLLPP!!!!

Maybe you can hide it... Like under the roots of a tree or something. It doesn't have to be a big tree...

And it is just here, just at this dark and silent frame, that the pointed tip
of the Rocket, falling nearly a mile per second, absolutely and forever without
sound, reaches its last unmeasurable gap above the roof of this old theatre, the
last delta-t.
There is time, if you need the comfort, to touch the person next to you, or to
reach between your own cold legs . . . or, if song must find you, here’s one They
never taught anyone to sing, a hymn by William Slothrop, centuries forgotten
and out of print, sung to a simple and pleasant air of the period. Follow the
bouncing ball:

There is a Hand to turn the rime,
Though thy Glass today be run,
Till the Light that hath brought the Towers low
Find the last poor Pret’rite one . . .
Till the Riders sleep by ev’ry road,
All through our crippl’d Zone,
With a face on ev’ry mountainside,
And a Soul in ev’ry stone. . . .

Now everybody—

*crosses fingers and hopes someone gets the reference* lol

*scratches her head* I have no clue what the heck you're referring too in that song or poem...

Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways, it can change someone else's life forever. - Comedian Margaret Cho.

A bookstore is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking. -Jerry Seinfeld.

It was a reference to a book called Gravity's Rainbow, and one of the main topics of the novel are rocket bombs. I've been trying to slip in a reference to the book (it's really a terrific story), and in lieu of lennard's post, I thought it'd be appropriate
