Does anyone think the connection between this and "death of a salesman" warrants any discussion?

I don't really think so, but, Audition, (Bout a salseman, never read it, so I don't know) and Death of a travelling salesman (Death of a Salesman, based around a travelling salesman who commits suicide)

I will read Audition, along with all of the other books mentioned, hey even if we seem to be done with them, if they were quoted and used on a puzzle they had to be pretty good, eh?

Dance Dance Dance, I was (and still am) merely reading to have a better grasp of the riddles, and I really like it. Must read Audition then...

Hey people, I'm new-ish around here.
Anyway, I don't know if this was mentioned yet, but on that Rober Silvers page with the pictures of the freaky robot head, one of the popups has the title 'a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy'. That line is from Shakespeare's play Hamlet and it refers to Yorick, the court jester. Hamlet finds Yorick's skull while digging around in a graveyard and the he does the 'to be or not to be' thing.
Hamlet also says "When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, must give us pause......For who would bear the whips and scorns of time.....but that the dread of something after death"
Maybe that has something to do with how robots don't die? Or maybe about Frankenstein?

Im shot, I cant think any more, its mentally impossible, Im still awaiting the books I ordered from the library, Dance Dance Dance, Paradise Lost book X, I Have No Mouth But I Must Scream, and there was one or two more, but I cant even remeber the names of them, maybe this puzzle IS impossible, and it was made to drive people to insanity. *sigh* oh well! We cant give up yet, the password for the Frankenstien promp has to be right under our noses!

Ok. I have found some interesting stuff. I am not sure if it has already been posted or not. But here it goes.

Ok. On the we are connected page, it says this in the source(some of this stuff may or may not help with the passwords and usernames for the 2 new things...)
('We');('Nesh-cheeDzehA-Ken-Di-GliniGahNe-as-jahThan-ZieDibehDzehKlizzie DibehTKin TKinDzehNa-as-tso-si')('What was all that about?');('Live');('As');('We');('Dream...'); It has the We Lives As We Dream... part in a line going down so you can easily read it. ('Did I kill Kiki?');('ever_yo_ne_i_sdead.htm','' (should check that site out... see if it works)('There was nothing I could do. He had disappeared.'); There ya go. Dont know anything about that navajo code. Or at least that is what i assume it is since Kris has used it before.
And this is the last bit that i have.
This is on the fortune cookie one.
<!--The boss has a tumor in his brain.-->('No Closet.');('wrapped in his sheep costume.')('any indication.');('boarded up from inside.');('No Bath.');('directly into the saucer.');('must\'ve slept on the floor');('worm-eatten');('Whatever became of him?');('very, old, round, set with one candle in the middle.')('walls and ceiling');('No lights.');('It was the Sheepman\'s Room.')('There was barely enough room to walk.');('It wasn\'t the old hotel either.');('piles of books.');('Narrow and Cramped.');('No bed.');
Ok... hmmm.... doesnt make any sense to me... Maybe it will to one of you guys. Well... thats it for now.

Oh yeah. Who figured out how to get to those new sites? Cuz I wanna know how you found them.

These are all Dance Dance Dance refrences:
What was all that about - Kiki's line in the movie
Did I kill Kiki? - Gotanda's line in the pizza shop
There was nothing I could do. He dissapeared. - Gotanda Suicide

This is all the description of the Sheep man's room, also from Dance Dance Dance. TINP seems to like to throw stuff around, so although its an interesting find, I dont think it has much significance...

I suggest reading Dance Dance Dance, its a really good book, and it will help with the website

I did the navajo code for that one back on page 10.
It is "mei is gestorven" or May has died

And I got the new site links by using a program called "gifshuffle" http://www.darkside.com.au/gifshuffle/
I used this on the pictures on the "Devil with 5 fingers page"

I've jsut discovered another Murakami reference.
some of the ASCII in the dutch truck page translated to "what comes after we tire of chasing wild sheep" (or something)
an amazon searh of Murakami brought up this http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...610496-4454233
possibly meaningless, but another thing to look at
