Bizarre Google Adword... Triggered By "I Love Bees"
Ok, I did a search on Google for I Love Bees, and on the right, in the sponsored listings, there was a lone adword:
and yet
i remember
what are these errant memories?
www.errantmemory.com
So I clicked on it, and was taken to a strange page with a Macromedia flash animation. Some text flew up on the screen :
what...
am I?
bits of data
sequences of numbers
and yet...
I remember
what are these...
errant memories?
Then pictures of famous people flash up, Neil Armostrong, Elvis and Martin Luther King are the first three. Each one of these pictures is accompanied by a number, sometimes with a dot. Here's the code:
3. 8. 56. 51 .0 .53. 7. 150 .3. 15.
All of this is played over a piece of music. I don't recognise it, but it kinda sounds like the Halo theme (although that's probably me looking for a connection that isn't there!). The animation just repeats after the sequence finishes.
Now, I can't see any connection to Halo, besides the "I Love Bees" trigger for the adword. Now I've done some searching, and this is the ONLY phrase that triggers it. "I Love Bee" doesn't trigger it, "Love Bees" doesn't trigger it, "I Love" doesn't trigger it, and "I love Bees +anything else" doesn't trigger it. So someone is bidding on the exact phrase [I Love Bees] (I work with Google Adwords, so trust me). Every click on the ad costs the advertiser $0.05 US (I presume it's American), yet there is no exit on the site. No links at all.
This is very strange, people don't use Adwords like this. People use Adwords to sell something, and hence make money. Or to promote charities. No one uses adwords to divert traffic to a site with a cryptic message, triggered by only one search term. Well, except Bungie, perhaps ;)
Any ideas anyone?

Damn, well, we had fun at least....

Like was just said, this has been solved. Sadly, it has nothing to do with Halo, or anything else terribly interesting for that matter. It's an ad for an book. This is the final page: [url]http://www.errantmemory.com/softness[/url] Oh well. Probably time to lock this topic. [Edited on 1/24/2005 9:27:49 PM]

The Errant Memories puzzle has been officialy Solved! it was an introductory ARG (alternate reality game) for beginners to ARG's.
-
also i have kindof tried a few combinations of the numbers and letters from the code and the movie so here goes nuthin 1. t h l s l b z l t p bl z t b l 2. j k l x l c r l j m bl r j b v 3. j k v x v c r v j m cv r j c v if these random letters could be rearranged or put in binary or some other system like hexadecimal i think it would be helpful
-
i remember this is the html from the file on the original page and i found a date of dec. 24 1999 if that helps move the mystery along -

nope, sorry, i have it at home.. when i get home (should be in an hour or two, im at work now) i'll get the link and post it for you guys i remember it being the first letter of each one of the events.. for example, elvis.. take the E of it along with the first letter of the rest and it spells a word and that word you would put in the URL errantmemmory.com/whatever
-
it was a link to another puzzle... there were several of them and i found a group of ppl dedicated to solving it they got thru like 5 or 6 of them and finally got to an email addy... let me see if i can find the URL for you guys
-
what was it?
-
dont you guys know they already solved the video with the pictures and numbers...
-
i dont know if someone already said this (didnt want to read all 9 pages) but mayb e its an ISP address? maybe bungies ISP address? idk much about computers but it looks kinda like one. the numbers thing
-
I found something on the tunnels page...I noticed as I moved the cursor around the page that it changed from the " ][ " looking thing to the arrow. I know from typing stuff that the " ][ " comes up over text. SO...I highlighted it a found a huge page of something about font, like some code maybe. [url=http://www.errantmemory.com/tunnels]Tunnels Page[/url]
-
Has anyone listened to the message on that page? It's taken straight from I Love Bees! I'm convinced this is for Halo now!
-
Well, i dunno......admittedly, it would be cool if this was actually info in halo 3, but what if we stumbled on to sumthing else? Maybe a bit more important? I personally belive that this isn't related to Halo 2 in any way, if it was created by the "Covenant" It would've used alien text or terms.
-
i love bees is a reality game and "supposidly" a bunch of Arizona College students started this "reality" where they......well just read the article it also states sumthin about the War of the Worlds episodes when a chapter of the game is complete.... http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,65365,00.html [Edited on 1/15/2005 2:55:26 PM]

N.Armstrong first man on moon, MLK, OJ...well he got away with murder, Tupac is a legendary rapper who some think faked his death. Johnny Depp? possibly? Nuclear mushroom... The side of a guys face... Jesus. I have no idea what the next thing is... "NECROMANCER" dunno what that is... Some old love movie...dunno what that is. The constitution granting freedom. 2 bulidings and a water tower and a lake... dunno what that is either. If someone could explain the ones i dont know and what they did that'd be tight.
-
Yes http://www.errantmemory.com/7064131317.html in the top center of the page your cursor will turn into a finger click and it will play a message. [Edited on 1/15/2005 2:31:49 PM]

If you think about this it's either a hoax (which would be hilarious) or a rea lly good problem that people are going to take hours out of their lives to solve. Anyone think of the Skulls?
