A new link was added to the Institute for Genomic Advancement page.  When you click on the underlined word, a countdown timer appears along with a message from Persephone.  |

When the clock reaches zero (@ 20:00 UTC) nothing happens so far (just change your computer clock to see). However - there's an ugly text image in the flash file that's never used:  As usual - the texts, pictures and sounds are available at lost.karlqvist.nu. Click iga.swf (in bold) |

Hmmm... Interesting. Maybe something will happen in a few days. Or maybe it is dharma trying to restart the swan hatch back to full power.

breaking through to what - maybe it is a countdown from when it was posted. When I just went there it seemed to be at 13 hours - so I think it is counting down to a time - about 1 pm pacific time today (or 10 pm today if you are in Spain like I am right now).

Looking at the source code in the flash file the countdown is actually set to count down to June 7th of the current year (yes, if you would set your computer clock to 1/1 2007 it would count down to June 7th 2007) and the time 20:00 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time = GMT-0100 at the moment) |

I think that is the same time I quoted - I am +1 GMT right now and I believe it will be 22:00 hours for me. So for those in the US:
1 pm pacific
4 pm eastern

Original link is gone, but the image in the upper right has changed - I'm showing some hotspots there when I use Tab, but nothing seems clickable.
Also, when you hold the tab down the words, Retrievers of Truth show up a bit behind the xray
JLSK
edit - the molecules are rollover hotspots - roll over three of them to reveal Retrievers of Truth words in the xray.

New to this forum - pretty cool.
Notice the white light in the sky?
Also - this is interesting:
parthenogenesis (pär'thənōjĕn'əsĭs) [Gr.,=virgin birth], in biology, a form of reproduction in which the ovum develops into a new individual without fertilization. Natural parthenogenesis has been observed in many lower animals (it is characteristic of the rotifers), especially insects, e.g., the aphid. In many social insects, such as the honeybee and the ant, the unfertilized eggs give rise to the male drones and the fertilized eggs to the female workers and queens. The phenomenon of parthenogenesis was discovered in the 18th cent. by Charles Bonnet. In 1900, Jacques Loeb accomplished the first clear case of artificial parthenogenesis when he pricked unfertilized frog eggs with a needle and found that in some cases normal embryonic development ensued. Artificial parthenogenesis has since been achieved in almost all major groups of animals, although it usually results in incomplete and abnormal development. Numerous mechanical and chemical agents have been used to stimulate unfertilized eggs. In 1936, Gregory Pincus induced parthenogenesis in mammalian (rabbit) eggs by temperature change and chemical agents. No successful experiments with human parthenogenesis have been reported. The phenomenon is rarer among plants (where it is called parthenocarpy) than among animals. Unusual patterns of heredity can occur in parthenogenetic organisms. For example, offspring produced by some types are identical in all inherited respects to the mother.

Has anyone else noticed that if you put your mouse over the red dots on the picture in the upper right hand corner then words appear on the x-ray below it. I have no idea how this is helpful but maybe someone else can figure it out.

Yeah -rolling over all three, they spell out the retriever's website.
See this thread for complete info - I summarized on the wiki, but haven't had time to put up lots of screen shots at all.
