http://www.abcnews.go.com/GMA/Story?id=4738621&page=1

note, the smiley they depict is NOT the actual image of the painted smiley, they
are witholding the image to prevent copy cats.  but...  another older article i
found described it as kilroy like, and teh word mentioned in the article, i
could have sworn ive seen in the transmissions. 

	The first set of lat/long coordinates, 32.54 x 105.58, lies in the
heart of China, more than 100 kilometers north of Mianyang.

The second set of lat/long coordinates, 36.98 x 76.631, also lies in
China, approximately 90 miles west of the China/Pakistan border. The location is
thirty miles from its only nearest town, Akmeqit.

The third set of lat/long coordinates, 43.35 x 77.0333, is in
Kazakhstan, approximately five miles from the city of Alma-Ata and thirty miles
from the border with Kyrgyzstan.

The fourth set of lat/long coordinates, 51.53 x 12.40, found at the
bottom-left of the page, is located in Germany, ten miles north of the city of
Leipzig.

In response to the May 1, 1986 entry, user Joe23, on 09.11.2003, wrote
that "'Ora pro nobis' and 'Orate pro nobis' are used when reciting the litany of
the saints..." The phrase Orate pro nobis is Latin for "Pray for us."

Trinity Sunday in the year 2008 is May 18th. The second Sunday of
Advent is December 7th.

The Leitmotiv is from a letter by John Wesley about the need to ordain
bishops in America after the revolution. The result was the ordination of
Francis Asbury (who we have seen in the ads before on 1-December-1993) and
Thomas Coke.

2 Peter 2:22 ~V ~SOf them the proverbs are true: ~QA dog returns to its vomit.~R
And ~SA sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud.~T (NIV)

The first set of coordinates (Manhattan distance) is very close to the White
Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.

The second set of coordinates is Smithfield Virginia, home of the Smithfield ham
and Ham Capital of the World (a reference to the pigs, surely).

The third set of coordinates is for the Almaty airport in Kazakhstan.

Trinity Sunday 2008 will be 18-May-2008. The second Sunday in Advent will be
7-December-2008.

The ads from the collage at the bottom are, from left to right: 1-May-1988,
1-May-1989, 1-May-1993, and 1-May-2003.

32.54N 105.58 W seems to be near not only Fort Bliss, White Sands,
etc, but also near Orogrande, New Mexico

This is interesting because this ad references the ad from 5/1/1990 dealing with
the weavers needle gold mine in Arizona. I seem to recall some thing about them
dropping pigs down a mine shaft or something too.

Aus den neuen Schachten schafft mir das Gold

.. is from Das Rheingold, the first opera in Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelung
cycle. 

 Hi Bryan,
Are the faint scribblings on the hilt of the horizontal sword/knife yours or
were they part of the ad?  If yours, it's interesting to see that they used a
clip of this image on the 2nd April 08 ad rather than their own clean version.

	
I almost hate to bring it up, because the information that I've seen
is so partial and because I half-think that it ties into an opportunistic
misinformation campaign, but the short wave numbers station community had quite
a stir about a "Yosemite Sam" transmission on a ham radio frequency that was
apparently traced to not far from the coordinates listed on this page in New
Mexico. You can google it for more information, but the idea is that a recording
of "I'm going to blow you to bits, varmint" or something similar from one of the
cartoons, was played at odd intervals followed by a high-concentration
data-block.

There are many references in these over the years to radio frequencies, and I
doubt that the fascinating-to-some business of numbers stations have escaped the
creator's notice.

>From little I looked at it, the Yosemite transmissions were thought to be
either a military experiment or a bored military contractor futzing around; but
I haven't looked at it much, and the type of people who are interested in such
matters tend to have exotic belief systems.
