Or maybe they are using it to let us know when "Testimonial: Gravesite" is up...

Ok, I'm looking at the timer and the days say NaN. What does that mean? What was supposed to happen?

Also the hours read 19 so does that mean whatever is supposed to happen will happen tomorrow?

NaN means "not a number." In computing, it's to signal that a variable is... well, not a number. Someone tried to find the root of a negative, or they tried to divide by zero or something. Oh shi--

Thats odd, not sure if this just changed or its old, but if you search site:206.16.223.61 or site:206.16.223.65 at live.com, it says "It Has Begun Again", and 206.16.223.62 is listed, even though it has nothing on it.
