Sisters Easter Egg

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Dear All,

I'm a long time lurker, ex-Dominionite and the webmaster/forum admin of Outpost #31, the oldest, biggest and best The Thing fansite on the internet. Some of you might be able to figure out who I am from this information but that's not important right now. What is important is this question:

Can you spot The Sisters Easter egg on our news page?

Perhaps a more pertinent question would be: do any of us care? Not trying to be rude but if we're Thing fans we'll seek out Thing webpages. We won't go to them just because there might be an obscure hidden Sisters reference.

I was a bit disappointed

It's not dedicated to the chap in the Fantastic Four

Couldn't find anything, unless the Andrew/Patricia photo in Floodland was taken at Salmon Glacier. Is it that tenious? A clue might be in order, are we looking for a photo, a hidden link to some other page, something in the text that's a quote of the man himself, or something in the source code?

Hello and welcome, XidiouX - but I'm afraid I'm throwing in the towel already - how about just telling us the Sisters connection, since I probably speak for most of us here when I say that my appetite for The Thing minutiae is, well, obviously vast - astronomical - but still finite... :D

Okay, it is, perhaps, a tough one, so here's the first clue:

One point of light, green light.

I come in peace, my friends, but nevertheless, with charrenge! :lol:

Second clue:

SSV-NSMABAAOTWMODAACOTIATW does not stand for "Screw Shareholder Value - not so much a band as another opportunity to waste money on drugs and ammunition, courtesy of the idiots at Time Warner."

Why not?

What is it we Sisters fans have been doing since 1993?

Fourth and final clue, for now:

If I'm a forum admin, what am I doing here? Why am I not looking after my own forum right now?
