On Toolband, the january newsletter says different things like... The Pot will be the next single, that at that time they were mixing Jambi, and so on.

http://www.toolband.com/news/letter/2006_01.php

It also mentions a "terrible secret" one of the songs speaks of.
The secret is * ** ET TEST ON D

D is DAVE, he drives a VAN.

The information given is DIVINEKNOWLEDGECRPOLBAMSTOFGLO

Did the song need to be re-mixed before it was ready to be printed? YES AND NO

Additional track information is:

5N6 AMEN

M33IXOMAXIP

That can be associated to the number ** (23, it can't be 10,000)

This track has no name.



So, assuming this are hints about Viginti tres' meaning... does this newsletterring any bell about anything?

If I had to quess about "* ** ET TEST ON D", I'd say it's referring to Rosetta Stoned (and Danny). Ouija boards are only so accurate, and you're really really reaching here (IMO).

Yeah * ** ET TEST ON DAVE becomes Rosetta Stoned in the next newsletter. But nevertheless, 'ET TEST ON D' fits right into the theme or Rosetta Stoned. So, it's fitting. But I find it bizarre that we were given so much information about Dave, but in the last post on toolband Blair says the main character is Maynard. That just bothers me.

M33IXOMAXIP was translated to "Know of 33" by Sotto Voce in a post called "Know of 33"

None of the others have been solved.
