The mystery was a strange internet experiment propagated by the Smashing Pumpkins with their final album before breaking up, Machina. The greater part of what most fans refer to as the mystery occured in the Meaning of Symbols Forum.
Admins for the site gave clues and fans worked with those clues to discover user names and passcodes to open locked sites. Each site almost invariably led to another. There was supposed to be a cartoon featuring the Ghost Children, the otherworldly fans of Glass and the Machines of God, the fictional alter-ego band of the Smashing Pumpkins. However, only about 20 minutes of the cartoon was ever released, in its unfinished form, before the project was dropped.
The whole mystery seemed to just fizzle out with the band, especially once Billy Corgan became preoccupied with Zwan, another musical project. It is a very difficult and convuluted thing to explain. The mystery was something that needs to be experienced to be understood.

Get the Williams Lake mug.Shortened form of "Japanese". Used in the FFXI gaming environment to refer to Japanese players.

JP only, ((sorry, I don't understand English)).
My JP friend gave me these balance rings, I'm so lucky to be a linkshell with JP players.
It's hard to play with JP players because of translation issues, but they really rock in combat.

Get the jp mug.A mid sized city in British Columbia. It is located in the province's interior desert. Kamloops is one of the interior's largest cities.
Kamloops is a sprawling city with few redeeming qualities, but it is still better than Williams Lake.

Get the O-Board mug.Highway 16 in Canada is also known as the highway of tears because a large number of hitchhikers have been murdered along it. The term particularly refers to the stretch from Prince Rupert to Prince George.
Girls should never hitch alone on the highway of tears because lots of women have been murdered along it; some people think that it is the work of a serial killer.

Get the the highway of tears mug.A rare subspecies of black bear, also known as a spirit bear. Rather than being born with black fur Kermode bears are born with white fur. The kermode bear is the official animal of the Canadian province of British Columbia. It is found only in the temperate rainforests of northwest British Columbia near Terrace and on the islands of Haida Gwaii.
Many tourists go to northern British Columbia hoping to see a Kermode, unfortunately, they are extremely rare, and even residents of the area feel very lucky if they ever see one.
