A brief catalog of facts learned in the 36-hour pursuit of puzzle-solving:

  1. John Phillip Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever” march has lyrics.
  2. Edo Nyland and his (simplified) VCV dictionary.
  3. H. G. Wells has a lunar crater named after him, whereas Orson Welles has one on Mars.
  4. “Tainted Love” was originally performed by Gloria Jones.
  5. Angular frequency is denoted by a lowercase omega.
  6. The Great Moon Hoax of 1835.

I recognized some of the lyrics to the refrain in “Stars and Stripes.” I don’t remember where I heard it/learned it—might have been an obscure music class way back when.

Would the stars happen to represent Angels?
And the stripes…they would not represent the stripes administered to our King Jesus before his death would it?
