There has been some talk about the new page on the Cortexifan site, so I thought I would post the image of the frog.
.
Cortexifan Frog
.
Andrew reported that the site now says:
“We own the site now.
Go elsewhere for your information.”
.
ariannejean researched it and found:
“the frogs leg has C2OH25N30 on it. (i think.)“
“C2OH25N30- compound of D-Lysergic Acid Diethylamide.
in other words ( I belive )It’s LSD.”
.
Di noticed:
“something new on the site..a watermark on the lower left corner that when you hover over it, reads: ‘wbwashere’. how very great that both walter and william are wb’s, it could be anyone.“
.
In other words…all the work has been done for me. lol. Thanks everyone.

Also, when you keep the mouse on the frog “wbwashere” appears.

for some reason, i think all this is just too much work to be a hoax..i don’t recall ever seeing cortexiphan written on the show [i will go back on all my episodes and be less vague on the future, i promise], but maybe it’s not a typo that they wrote it with an ‘f’. or maybe it’s a fun tidbit about the ‘fans’ of the show. either way, this is taking more and more the shape of the beginning of the summer ARG campaign, and maybe, just maybe, it isn’t as fake [although probably slightly useless]. we should really try to dismantle the MD website now for any more changes besides the new addition of belly’s bio..there might be something else we haven’t seen

@vini
oneandone [or one & one, or 1 and 1] is a popular webhosting service. it could be a smoke screen, trying to get us to go crazy over whether it’s real or not, because all you can see is the webhosting registration and not the actual owner. it can go both ways, but if it’s a hoax, we might as well be the ones behind it because it’s getting quite assertive and elaborate, just to put it somehow

and they’re somewhat ‘aware’ of the typo. if you go to the source, you’ll find this
”
the f seems to be intentional, whomever’s behind it knows it’s cortexiphan, but chose to give more relevance to the cortexifan spelling

Are you referring to this?
meta name=”keywords” content=”Cortexiphan, Cortexifan”
It does look like they knew the proper spelling.
May 21st, 2009 at 11:12 pm
lol yeah that. and yes it does.

glad to contribute.
even if the site site turns out to be a fake, elaborate hoax by a committed fan it is interesting to (attempt to) dissect it. I’ll be keeping my eyes on it for sure.

@scully: yep!

@ Corey Tegeler:
yeah that’s how i got the frog detail last week, and if you download it to your computer, as its animated, you can see the whole sequence and right in the middle is the clear frog with the LSD combo.

update on the cortexifan site. It says
“Holdings Asset# FT183
Cortexifan.com liquidated
By order of the Trustees”
It’s Domain name is apparently for sale, According to this:
http://www.sedo.com/search/details.php4?domain=cortexifan.com
July 13th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
“Cortexifan is a domain suitable for several areas of research and technology including biotechnology, pharmaceutical and Fringe Shift Interferometry. – foutrust”
It says this on the page that is selling the domain name
July 13th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
I sked myself ‘who is this fou trust?’ this is what google came up with:
“Fou Trust and Holdings Company is an independent trust company founded on behalf of an Anonymous benefactor in 1991″
The foutrust website: http://foutrust.com/
I may have found something! on the front page it says: “We do not need a looking glass to leap into the improbable beyond.” – Fou Trust Founder
I’m going to go look around the site. I’ll report back if and when I find something else.
July 13th, 2009 at 6:35 pm
Confirmed! I believe by this page http://foutrust.com/documents/archive.php
at the top of the picture with two papers it says cortexian (with an F) then it has 45 sets of initials 4positives and one positive with an Astrix with the initials on OD. There is a butterfly a hand print and ‘Pete’ it looks like the same child’s writing as in the labnotes picture In my opinion.
July 13th, 2009 at 6:42 pm
it says this n thelegal page
“Fou Trust and Holdings Company recommends that all persons communicating over the internet utilize the highest level of encryption available to avoid interception by third parties.”
…i guess I should leave some fun for everyone else now. Happy searching

fou is french for insane
the chess pieces picture says
“fou en Fou”
insane to insane

@skully Sorry for posting so many posts at nce. at least they aren’t spam though.
July 14th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
This is great! Thanks for the updates. I will try to post on it later this week.
July 15th, 2009 at 3:25 am
No problem. I was just glad to have found something
July 20th, 2009 at 3:34 am
http://foutrust.com/documents/centraladmin.php?pageid=51&indexflag=index is A login page. might be useful.. though the one one MD’s site hasn’t been as of yet.
There is also a search function on the library the suggests “The Gryphon” for a search on Wiktionary. From glancing around the site I assume it means the gryphon from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gryphon_(Alice%27s_Adventures_in_Wonderland) .
the other is a suggestion to search Wikipedia for ‘chess piece’. Being rather unfamiliar with chess, It helped me realize that the picture of two chess pieces that says ‘Fou en Fou’ in the corner is of two Bishops! I feel like a fool for not noticing this at first glance. Gah! I take to mean that they are Walter and Alter-Walter because the ‘fou en fou’(I believe it is french for Insane to insane)suggests to me the two pieces represent the same person but different because they represent two opposing sides of chess… I don’t know if that makes sence… ah well.
I’m done for now.
Sorry if I took everyone’s fun.
(and sorry for my spelling/grammar…it gets a bit lost sometimes.)
