.. and I decided to blur the key's teeth in the above scan to prevent possible duplication.

Said key and a number of the other bright shiny things I've been sent are now in a safe place.

clue:  In response to "The Pimp's" email #157.

This refers to Genesis 18:1:
"The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the
day. Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them
and bowed low to the ground."

U Bud is inferring that the three visitors represent the Christian Trinity.

FYI: The text goes on to describe Abraham and his wife Sarah preparing and sharing their best meal with the visitors who are the
Lord. The Lord promises to return in a year and Sarah will have a son even though she is beyond child-bearing years. The visitors
go on to explain they are going to visit and judge the city of Sodom. Abraham pleads for leniency several times in a bartering-like
fashion and the Lord agrees Sodom will be spared if 10 decent people are found in the city. Upon visiting Sodom the three visitors
are almost molested by a sex-crazed mob. Needless to say the city is destroyed.

U bud mentions hook up with James Maxwell
"id got ta hook up with James C. Maxwell and make sumthin flow. " One might wonder if electric current 
is involved? Maxwell's equations are central to electromagnetism.
Here is an interesting link between Einstein Maxwell and Riemann - fractals
http://www.h33.dk/fraktenne_index.en.html
Coincidentally and a link with the number on the key.

#159 refers to Maxwell making something flow. James Clark Maxwell (and his famous equations) was the father of
electromagnetism. Maybe the reference is to AC current flow i.e. "making something flow and then making it not flow".

As regards the Cryptic diagram. It reminded me of a Miro. I am not great on art so dont ask me to interpret it. However
#159 suggests the number on the key leads to something. Maybe H 33 is a catalogue number. Worth a bit. Even a 
lithograph is about $1500.

look at litograph H (maybe number 33 of the 150 prints)and J. they to my uneducated eye resemble the cryptic "draft," 
yet the draft does not seem to be a Miro.

i'll hazard a guess that the "draft" is a prelimary layout for this year's mayday ad.

I had suspected that maybe they had sent you a rough outline of the next May 1 advertisement. That hasn't turned out the be the case.

Next, after looking at the 2/16/2004 delivery ( http://www.maydaymystery.org/mayday/texts/delivery02162004.html), I suspected this might be a map of some high-energy physics installation. So far, I have not found any that match.

• FermiLab map : http://www.fnal.gov/pub/visiting/map/site.html
• Superconducting supercollider : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_Supercollider . Strange, with all the debate about this project, I couldn't find a map of the proposed layout.

It looks like a car key to me. Fords keys often have H## stamped on them. Since we aren't getting a good look at it
do you agree that it seems typical of a car key? Does it seem newly made or old?

Key looks like a Ford car key c. 1970 vintage.  Is it reversible? can't tell from the scan.

I think the hint of 'Cobalt Blue' that the pimp gives in the following message might be of relevance here. 
http://www.maydaymystery.org/mayday/texts/freaks160.html
Among many other things, James Clerk Maxwell was the first to consider the electromagnetic nature of light, and performed the
first successful experiment in colour photography using filters of red, green and blue. Cobalt blue may have featured in that
work, or perhaps in something else that he did. 

clue:  Re. The "cryptic diagram" - This is multilayered.  The bottom-most layer appears to be constituted of the rectilinear forms
drawn with thin black lines - this would seem to be a rough plan drawing of the layout of a complex of structures (buildings?) - so
Rich may have been on the mark with his 'map' suggestion.  Next would seem to be a layer containing the thick orange-yellow lines -
it is questionable as to what they represent but one possibility might be some form of road or tunnel.  Above this, another layer
with the blue and green forms - the colours are suggestive of landscape, and this may indicate that the lower layers are actually
underground.  The darker orange forms seem to be imposed on the blue & green - they may represent planned features.  There are bits
- I'm not sure where they fit in yet, and the heavy black lines appear to be yet another layer on top - maybe an overlying diagram
indicating areas of concern rather than marking features.  The arrangement of orange and black triangles reminds me of the lines of
hatchures that are used to represent banks and ditches and suchlike on plans, but I'm not suggesting that's what we have here - the
arrangement suggests it but the actual forms of the triangles is quite different from that I would use, they may belong to the
layer that includes the orange circles.  Anyways, overall - much of drawing is *suggestive*, to me, of a multilayered plan
*possibly* indicating an underground complex and its interaction with the surrounding environment.  On the other hand, it could be
something entirely different....

If it were a car key, it would be "nothing by itself" (quoting from Freaks159), but when "hooked up" with electricity in the
starter circuit of a car, it would be used to make electricity/gas/water "flow" through the engine, and then "not flow" when the
engine was turned off.

On Genesis 18:1

The trinity referred to here may be the trinity of the archangels Michael,
Gabriel, and Raphael.

What I'm about to reveal comes from the Zohar- the central text of Kabbalah,
specifically Volume III.

Before I begin, I should explain to you all that each of the patriarchs is
attributed to a Sephirah that he emulates. In Abraham's case that Sephirah is
Chesed, Mercy, or Lovingkindness. Thus acts of kindness (random or not) are
often called acts of Chesed.

Here is an image of the Tree of Life:
http://www.darshem.org/sys-tmpl/nss-folder/scrapbook/1Tree_of_Life.gif

At the start of this Abraham performed the first circumcision (Zohar states 3
days ago), sealing his Covenant with G-d, and he's still recovering. The fact
that these men suddenly "appeared to him" lets us know that they are of divine
origin, angels. But more specifically, they are the archangels Michael, Raphael,
and Gabriel. Individually they are three major archangels, but together they
represent the Shechinah, which is G-d's presence in the Physical World. The
Spiritual energy of G-d can choose to reveal itself in a physical form so that
it can interact in the Physical Plane, "Nor could the world bear to co-exist
with them if they were not thus clothed." Meaning that if they were in a purely
spiritual state, the intensity of their presence would be too much for mortals
to bear.

The Zohar describes that they appeared, "Michael on the right side, Gabriel on
the left side, and Raphael to the front." This refers to their qualities and
respective positions on the Tree of Life. Michael is the archangel of Mercy
and is associated with the Sephirah Chesed, which appears on the right side of
the Tree of Life (which is why this c sometimes called the pillar of Mercy).
Gabriel is the archangel of Justice (or Judgement) associated with the Sephirah
of Gevurah which is on the left side. Raphael is the archangel of healing and is
associated with Tiphareth (or Tiferet) Which can mean beauty, harmony, or compassion.

Each of these archangels had a purpose in this episode. "Rafael, who governs the
power to heal, helped Abraham recover from the circumcision. Michael came to
inform Sarah that she shall bear a son... And Gabriel, who came to overturn
Sodom... is responsible for all the Judgments in the world.
