The story goes: There was a rather eccentric man with some
interesting philosophies, who was also known to have quite a nice
cache stashed somewhere. He lived very frugally, but was also
delirious at times but quite lucid in the next moment. The problem
was, it was hard to tell which was which and he liked to keep it
that way else someone would get too close and grab his cache. As he
lay on his deathbed he was quoted by some anxious relatives as
saying the following:
"drink milk, it's great. death of a state is final. a
marlinespike is pointed. two spiders spin lies and surrealism.
empty talk is never silver lined. it does not matter. diligence is
civil order."
Baffled by this outburst of seeming gibberish, they asked if
he was OK but the only response was more of the same:
"butterflies waver in wind. that is serious pain. i felt
better afterwards. permission granted to talk. kids love digital
watches. no, this is serious pain. meteors eternally threaten
earth."
And with that he passed away. Upon reading his will, the only
instructions were that his last words (both sets) contained all the
information needed to find his cache.
The only hint offered for now is that the words and letters
are in precisely the right order and that this is not a cryptogram
of any sort; but there is a code to break.
With each successful new find I will offer an additional clue
for those who request them.
24 Feb UPDATE!!! Since 3 brave souls have now triumphed,
new clues have been added in the hints section. Some may have
already received these via email.
Have fun!!!
