MelodyKitn, you have been disobeying a direct order.:wink: I grow weary of this.:zzz:

If this has a connection to previous riddles...it has to be recently. The two before both refer to names. Dark painting. I just don't see the answer having to do with a riddle that is 30 behind the current one.

Either this or it is completely independent.

I know, I am referring to the one "name that is already used." If we know this first name, then it is only a matter of time (short). I mean, is it lovecraft, nosferatu, the minotaur (is that what is depicted in the darkpainting?), or is it just plain "dark." Or is it something less obvious? (or more obvious)

I identified the painting used for riddle #55. Its called Dark Berserker and you can see it here. http://facezero.com.ne.kr/a.html Are there 3 names for a Berserker?

hehe I just googled dark painting and looked at images. Its on the top row. Its possible others have been looking for it because I know I did that search before and didn't see that painting.

Who creates berserkers?

And in Wikipedia.. there's a link from Berserkers >> Werewolves...

Werewolves are sometimes held to become vampires after death

In it, they are described as Ulfheðnar = "men clad in wolf skins".

Dunno if it's true... think we're on a path away from "The Graveyard Of Dead End Thoughts"?

Wow. What hurts the most is that you stayed up this late and we have not really done anything. Good night.:smile:

Don't fret though...I will probably do the same...and I have to leave for work at 5:30.:smile:

Are we free of the curse of 56?! ><

I keep trying all the norse stuff.. so far going nowhere.. so I'm probably chasing the wrong path again x.x
 
  • #1,642
no, we're not, it's just out of control
 
  • #1,643
fitting that this riddle would be called "The Wall", because we've certainly hit one...
 
  • #1,644
You found the next part of it?

Just a lead (possibly). But we all know how that goes.
