Nevertheless, we still thought we could advance the topic through nonconventional reporting methods.

We asked 50 psychics. But we didn't get a unanimous winner. We played "One Shining Moment" backwards several times. We were pretty sure we heard "Go With Gonzaga." We knew we were lost.

"If you unscramble them, they will come," he said. So, we proceeded to spend the next six hours rearranging the names of some familiar notables to find the hidden message. The scary thing is that we think JEJ was right.
