    Is this for real: http://www.14may2003.com or is it a hoax?
    Well no matter what, it was entertaining!

    It's all vaguely plausible right up until the paragraphs after the photo of negatives.
    Concrete, Abstract, or Squoingy?

              I don't understand it. It costs $ to register a domain name, and you need to pay some company to host the website.

              It's very puzzling.

                  sounds like a ploy to hype up some new company the webmaster is trying to start up.

                  I don't buy it.

                    I explored the site and i got this link: http://www.8march2003.com/ In this site the photos are revealed, he talks about a future disaster that will happen in the world and an ''ark'' being secretly built.

                      The site 8march2003 says the world would end on 2003/03/08. It clearly didn't.

                      This new site has exactly the same layout and content, except with a new date.

                        That's even more expensive.

                        Unless that person has access to a web server and does this secretly without the owner's knowledge.

                          Even the photo's of the burned negatives are the same.

                              well, clearly you haven't read enough...if you read the log on that date (march 8th), they reveal the pictures...however, if you scroll to the bottom, you get a link to www.mountainsub.com...if you click "show me more" at the bottom of that, it clearly asks the reader to guess what this whole shindig is about...is it for a toy, game, book? who knows...
