Tjis actually translates to \"MAYBE YOU\'VE FORGOTTEN HOW WE DO THINGS...\"

[Snowkestrel]

If you view the source code and manually enter the link in the source, you get a page with this is the title:
-.- .. - - -.-- --. . -. --- ...- . ... . .-- .- ... - .... . ... - .- .-. - .-.-.- -

Which comes out as \" kitty genovese was the start t\"

Keep looking, folks- there\'s bound to be more!

-Snowkestrel

btw- \"MAYBE YOU VE FORGOTTEN HOW WE DO THINGS APPEARS TO BE CORRECT\" maybe the message changes...

... .- .-- / --. .-. . -... . .-. .. -.. / .- -. -.. / -.-- --.. .--- . .--. -.-. ... -.- ..- / .-.-. ....- ----- .-.-.- --... ..... ....- ----. ..... ----- -....- ----- --... ...-- .-.-.- ----. ---.. ---.. ----- ..... ---.. / .- -. / .- ..-. ..-. .- .. .-. / .--. . .-. .... .- .--. ... ..--..

translates to: \"SAW GREBERID AND YZJEPCSKU 40.754950-073.988058 AN AFFAIR PERHAPS?\"

Those should be Dreiberg and Juspeczyk respefully I\'m guessing.

[Cranston]

Those numbers in the Dreiberg/Juspeczyk message (40.754950-073.988058) are latitude and longitude (shades of Close Encounters, here). If you cut and paste them into Google Maps, you\'ll find it pointing right to the corner of 40th and 7th in New York City, which is exactly where Rorschach saw them coming out of a diner in the fifth issue.

Another new message...

GET CZAR DEN SKY TO CONTACT ME

guess CZAR DEN SKY is an anagram??

[TheSeaKing]

I got it! It IS an anagram. It\'s Zack Snyder, the Watchmen film\'s director! So the message reads:
GET ZACK SNYDER TO CONTACT ME

[chatback]

When I click on the thing that brings up the instructions and the images to choose from, at the top of the window, I get this:

..-. --- .-.. .--.. --- .-- ... / -.. .. -. . .-. .- .- .-

This translates to FOLLOWS DINER. Has anyone else noticed this? Could it mean something?

[Camensky]

..-. --- .-.. .-.. --- .-- / .. -. ... - .-. ..- -.-. - .. --- -. ... .-.-.- / ... . . / -.-- --- ..- / .- - / --. ..- -. --. .- / -.. .. -. . .-. .-.-.- translated is:
\"FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. SEE YOU AT GUNGA DINER.\"

I read the book a long time ago so I had to google it, came up with this:
\"The Gunga Diner is this world\'s equivalent of McDonald\'s, as the
ever-present fast-food restaurant. It was founded by an Indian who left
the country during the famine in the \'60\'s (see the poster on page 17).\"
