    Well, one thing I did notice while looking around for the legs was that there are a lot of Charlie's Angels pictures where three women are standing with their legs spread like that.

    p.s. I swear Tom did this on purpose.

    Uh... Gene Siskel died of brain cancer 10 years ago (cue the Debbie Downer music -wahh wahhhhhhhhh).

    one more post and I'm done for tonight. :oops: I promise!

    But here's an interesting thing.... maybe you all knew this, but I didn't.

    All the characters that played Charlie's Angels have posed for Playboy!

    The AngelTour: http://sjisasillyboy.tripod.com/tour/main.html

    There's got to be a clue there....

    Can someone refresh my memory why "Charlie" was inserted in the title. It has been a long time since I've seen that movie.

    Charlie controlled those women? Just like this Snoop Dogg pimp?

    I should go and rent that movie tomorrow!

    EDIT: Ok, these charlie's angels were hired as private investigators for Charlie who has never shown his face in TV series.

    Three women. Sexy and well-known women.

    You all are going to hate me for this...but found Snoop's music video and you'll note he has 3 women posing with him. Snoop Dogg - Sensual Seducation :lol:

    Three women. Playboy girls. Under one man. Pimp. Hmm....why is this pimp tiny? Shallow? Red dress is difficult to find...other than Farrah Fawcett and Marilyn Monroe. "Hidden" picture of Farrah? Just like hidden Charlie?

    Me need some serious therapy....

    I didn't compare the brain picture I turned up in a graphics program until just now and I'd say that the image source is officially cracked:

    I'm not sure where the image was originally presented. Trying to find that out currently so I didn't post it. Here are some possibilities that I'm sorting through:

    *edit* Looks like it may originate from this flickr user???
    Gaetan Lee and it says it was taken in Knightsbridge, London?

    I think I am getting close to locating where the brain picture was taken, but I could be wrong. Any Londoners know if the Science Museum has brains in jars like the one shown?

    Soulfire42Soulfire42 Posts: 404
    Ok, this is a bit complex, but it does appear that the actual brain shown in the photo can be found at the Science Museum in London. The following video shows a human brain in a vat with the label "homo" as shown in the photo. It's a bit deep into the video and requires a stupid download from Microsoft to view. Ugh.

    http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Charles/ ... me-Niners/

    About 7:40 seconds into the video it shows a brain in a jar after showing several inventions of the brain's original owner.

    And it looks like the brain belongs to Babbage.

    Charles Babbage, FRS (26 December 1791 – 18 October 1871)[2] was an English mathematician, philosopher, inventor and mechanical engineer who originated the concept of a programmable computer. Parts of his uncompleted mechanisms are on display in the London Science Museum. In 1991, a perfectly functioning difference engine was constructed from Babbage's original plans. Built to tolerances achievable in the 19th century, the success of the finished engine indicated that Babbage's machine would have worked. Nine years later, the Science Museum completed the printer Babbage had designed for the difference engine, an astonishingly complex device for the 19th century. Considered a "father of the computer"[3] Babbage is credited with inventing the first mechanical computer that eventually led to more complex designs.


    I'm calling this backspacer image solved. :)

    Now I think I'm going to look a bit into the anatomy picture. Some starting point thoughts for any other backspacer investigators are Galen (father of anatomy), a reference to "The Anatomy of Torture" which is about a landmark decision in human rights law, or Andreas Vesalius and the De humani corporis fabrica. All of these could be false starts, but it's where I think I'll start digging when I get a chance. Hmm... or maybe Foucault's Pendulum or The Pit and Pendulum? Haha, brain about to overload, I think.

    Snoop_Doggs_Hustlaz_Diary_of_a_Pimp.jpg

    From Wikipedia:
    Snoop Dogg's Hustlaz: Diary of a Pimp is a mixed hardcore pornography and hip hop music video featuring the music of rapper Snoop Dogg, produced by Hustler Video. The video was also directed,[1] co-produced[2] and presented by him, although he does not feature in any sex scenes.[3] In the films credits Snoop is listed under the moniker "Snoop Scorsese".[1] It was released in 2002, a year after Snoop Dogg set the trend of mixed hip hop porn movies with Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle.[3][4] The film features Snoop hosting a party with more than 40 porn stars.[4] He plays the role of a pimp, who dresses in outlandish outfits, and persuades a prudish journalist to become one of his girls.[3] It became the top-selling U.S. pornographic film of 2003.

    Posted that snoop pic back on page 8 already :) But it looks like we're on a similar wavelength in thinking it may be somehow related to Snoop.

    You're right, missed page 8, and... should really be working instead of following Snoop's career as a pimp or looking for legs...

    I'm off!!!

    Amen. I wanted to quit thinking about this awhile ago, but when I try to stop I find myself wondering something like, "Okay, maybe that isn't meant to be taken as a literal burning train... but rather a kid killed by a Fire Engine..." But enough is enough for tonight. :oops:

    Where will Hirst look next for inspiration?
    Despite not a whiff of rotting flesh or formaldehyde, Damien Hirst, the so-called "bad boy" of British art, has again prompted a storm of protest with his latest work.
    Hymn, a 20-ft bronze sculpture of a male torso, has angered Hull-based company Humbrol, which fears the art work is a direct copy of its Young Scientist Anatomy Set.
    Seemingly adding insult to injury, Hymn is the first of Hirst's works to net him a cool £1m, catapulting him into the super league of British artists alongside Lucian Freud and David Hockney.
    Humbrol's model, complete with removable organs, can be picked up for less than £15 at toy shops around the country.

    Wow, not sure how I missed that post, but yep... looks like that's a wrap on that piece of the puzzle filled in too. Glad I decided to check in before logging off for good tonight. Thanks for pointing that out, saved me a bunch of aimless net-wandering tomorrow...err... later today!

    So true. The worst part is it's all my fault!

    Introducing... The Cosmic Drummer

    pearljambackspacer6.jpg

    "We all march to the cadence of this cosmic drummer—our planetary heartbeat, which
    sets the tempo for health and well-being."

    "This universal motion carries us all onwards to a future beyond our imagination; the first breath of babies pulsates because of the universal rhythm; so does the earth in its seasonal changes and successions. The sun also expands and contracts, i.e. "breathes," according to the latest scientific discovery reports, and no doubt our home galaxy or Milky Way flows outward and returns inward to a center in so large a sweep of time that it may seem motionless to us. But the tiniest subparticle making up an atom of our physical body also must move to the beat of the cosmic drummer, as do all of us together."

    And finally
    3125837180_4e0c877bf9.jpg?v=0

    Of course, none of this means anything until we find the image Mr. Tomorrow appropriated. That's the essential part.

    Marilyn. Drat! It's gotta be something 60s, right? famous scene/still just like the other two..
    This is close, but the shoes have too many straps, and obviously the pose is different.

    I figure its gotta be a movie still like Welch and Andress, but I can't come up with it. Damn you Tom Yesterday.

    Is it possible that the images also relate the Pearl Jam songs or lyrics? The devil on his shoulder picture (from World Wide Suicide). Brain of J...not sure about the others, but those two immediately come to mind.

    Yup! I'm still impressed!

    I just wanted to throw in a theory - actually, my husband's theory but he doesn't like to post..

    He was looking at the artwork and he thinks there is one thing in all the pictures have... a brain or looks like a brain.

    Picture 1 - he can't find the look of a "brain", but maybe like burning your brain.
    Picture 2 - obvious.
    Picture 3 - the flower in pocket.
    Picture 4 - trees on the left corner.
    Picture 5 - obvious.
    Picture 6 - can't find it...maybe in his space helmet? Me: "Thinking outside of the box"?
    Picture 7 - the fire.
    Picture 8 - can't find it....maybe Raquel's panties?
    Picture 9 - the scarf she's holding...it's what holds the brain together. "You'd have to be out of your mind doing what she did."

    Use your fucking brain, he says...not to follow others, but to think for yourself and use it to solve problems.

    Just throwing that out there...
