Hi Dozy, me buy your latest cloned Big Dig, you're having a laugh old son, I wouldn't pay you heed, I was never one for PIFFLE Pursuit.

I could actually give you every Oak Secret I've got and you would still screw up because as we say in England you're as thick as two short planks paddy, and if you ever dreamed that you were a better Oak Island researcher than me you should wake up, call me, and apologize.

You are inept not adept Dozy, now don't confuse one with the other, and don't brag to me about anything you write about Oak Island, I have had the embarrassing misfortune to have read your books at my local library, I laughed so loud they threw me out.

Cerris

I'd like to ask Jim just what the significance of my posts from several years ago is supposed to be. Stuck in a time warp, are you Jim? What I may have said or thought then has no relation to what I think or say now. I guess if you can't find fault with my solutions of the greatest mysteries on Earth then copying and pasting my old posts is a fun passtime. I hope people find them entertaining, I certainly had fun writing them.
Yep, Jim was bugging me way back then and he still is. I think the guy should get a new hobby.

Cerris, you cheapskate! While thousands of others were actually buying my books, you chose to read them for free at your local library? I find that oh so tacky! No wonder they threw you out. (I hope you weren't so crass as to write notes in the margins).

D'Arcy

Ahhh the Bellagio. Where else would one stay.
And as they say, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." wink wink, nod nod.
A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse, wouldn't you say?

Macteague:

Quite correct! By the way, where were you staying? Although you and I met at Caesar's Palace (which had the only hall large enough for my Oak Island presentation), I suspect a man of your discriminating taste would have been ensconsed in somewhat better digs on the Strip. And, not to be too nosey, but was that buxom young woman whom you introduced to me as your "niece" really your niece?

D'Arcy

I consider it a public service to inform the newbies about your pattern of lying. And yes, what you said then, has everything to do with how much credibility you have now, which is very little.

I don't need to find fault with your solution, you have never presented a credible solution to begin with. It's all smoke and mirrors and I, along with many others, have clearly demonstrated the ease for which your ludicrous claims can be duplicated with any shape or pattern.

D'arcy,
I stayed at the Luxor. Most of the others were at the "Tailhook" Hilton, which I abhor. Wellll, she's almost like a niece. We see each other every time I'm there.
Hope to see you next year!

I guess the whole thing about D'Arcy's over-inflated presentation fees was a joke, huh? Thank goodness. I thought the world had gone insane for a minute there.
Have you seen this yet? It shows that the Oak Island Cross as shown in the 1618 Rosicrucian print is at the exact same angle as the Northern Cross (Cygnus) when the center of the M asterism is on the North meridian on Mary Magdalene's feast day. Needless to say, this will go right over the heads of D'Arcy and Tank, who can't comprehend anything more complex than Oak Island mining reports.
Note that the Northern Cross actually points to the group of constellations portrayed by the shepherds in Poussin's Les Bergers d'Arcadie, and Cassiopeia in particular. Unlike Tank and D'Arcy's posts, this one isn't a joke, though I'm sure it will seem like one to them. Later, they'll have a few more laughs over the General Theory of Relativity.

Hi Dozy, there was no writing in the margins of your wonderful books I saw in the library but each page WAS covered in crayons, apparently any books that don't get asked for end up as colouring books in the childrens activaties section.

Is there any truth in the rumour that when you sucked up to Crank for the position of Oak Island Exploitation Societys accountant he asked you if you could handle the job, you allegedly replied that there were THREE kinds of accountants, those who could count and those who could not.

Cerris:

You really have to get your rumours straight. What I actually replied was that there were three conditions to my accepting the job. The first being the salary ($24,000 a year - which I think is fair for my four or five hours of work per month); the second being that I be the self-appointed auditor of my accounting books; and the third that the OITS hang a large portrait of me in their executive boardroom. Suffice it to say that all three conditions were immediately approved by the OITS board of directors.

Hi D'Aracy, your salary is - impressive, accountant and auditor - fortuitous, but come on now be honest you're kidding about the third condition right, they couldn't get a life size potrait of your head through the executive boardroom doorway door.

Cerris

Sorry Cerris, you are (as usual) quite correct. The fourth condition (which I stupidly neglected to mention) was that the OITS had to totally remodel the boardroom entranceway in order to get the portrait through.

Yeah sure, D'Arcy. Keep cracking wise instead of addressing the fact that I just showed that the constellation which matches the Oak Island Cross, Cygnus/Northern Cross, points directly at Cassiopeia, which I have shown has three stars at the exact same angle as part of the star geometry which matches a group of islands in Mahone Bay and is perfectly coordinated with the Oak Island treasure pit.
You actually fancy yourself a competent Oak Island researcher? I just showed you a perfectly valid and plausible explanation for the most significant clue on the whole island, the perfect Cygnus-like cross, and all you can do is joke about Cerris and whatever the hell else comes to your pea sized mind. You're absolutely pathetic, O'Connor. You have hands down got to be one of the stupidest people on the planet. What have you got to say for yourself, bonehead? Go on, make some grade 5 wisecrack. You know you want to and you know that's really all you're capable of anyway. That way you won't have to accept the reality that your career in Oak Island is WAY over after a few people see your stellar performance on this forum. The jokes will all be ABOUT you, instead of from you, genius.

Ok JB, since you insist, here it comes:

Grade 5 wisecrack!

There, you happy now?

Extremely. That was the epitaph on the gravestone of your Oak Island career.

Ah poor departed D'Arcy.
Better an epitaph than an epithet.
Hey D'Arcy, if they are having a wake in your honor, may I attend? I mean, at least you had an Oak Island career, unlike some who simply prefer to be a dog-in-the-manger.

I'm still waiting for D'Arcy to provide ANY explanation whatsoever for the presence of a Cygnus-like megalithic cross on Oak Island. If he wants to regard my solution as implausible then he has to provide some reasonable alternative. At least I actually attempt to explain some of the previously unexplained Oak Island mysteries, unlike others who are just dogs-in-mangers.

JB in-the-manger:

Unlike you, I have trod all all over the island literally dozens of times over the past three decades, and I can tell you this: There are thousands of surface boulders on Oak Island, and one would be hard put not to eventualy align any number of them with whichever heavenly Constellation or any other ancient symbol that one chooses. So rather than saying your "solution" is implausible, all I'm saying is "So what!"

D'Arcy



Macteague:

Ever hear of a true Irshman passing away without a real old fashioned Catholic wake? Of course you are invited! There'll be plenty enough Tullamore Dew and boiled potatoes for all.

D'Arcy

Hi D'Arcy, when I read Brian's post I never had my glasses on and at first I thought he said, That was the EPISODE on the gravestone of your Oak Island career, I thought "Oh no - - not another bl**dy Dullards chapter"

Cerris

D'Arcy, I think I'll believe the CREDIBLE Bill Crooker over you. From Oak Island Gold;

"Asked how many other boulders of similar size and shape might be found on the Island, Nolan said there were no others. He said that on surveying the entire Island in 1961-1962, he had not seen any granite boulders of the size and configuration that mark off the Cross. During my tour of the Cross, I looked around for boulders of a similar shape. I saw only one rock of the size of the cones but it was far from being conical. There were boulders on the shore of Joudrey's Cove but a cursory search turned up nothing resembling the cones of the Cross. Proceeding with my assignment, I estimated the original positions of the tops of the two cone-shaped boulders that had been disturbed, and carried out the survey. The arms of the Cross were indeed at right angles to the stem and all the measurements complied with Nolan's plot plan!"

And there's also this;

"Then he showed me a photograph of an artifact that he believes is associated with the Cross. It is a lock with a cross-shaped keyhole. When the key is turned, the face opens and another smaller keyhole appears."

That's known as a "clue", D'Arcy.

Incidentally, although the image of the Starry Night program window I posted earlier was set to July 22, 1618, it is the same on any date. When the Cygnus cross is in that position, which matches the cross in the Rosicrucian print and the OI Cross itself as it's positioned on the island, when looking North, Cassiopeia is on the North meridian a very short distance from the center of the sky (the zenith, directly overhead) and Andromeda, the Poussin shepherdess, is with her the same distance on the other side of the center of the sky. Together, they occupy the exact center of the night sky and only when the Cygnus cross is in that position. The rest of the night, they are in nondescript parts of the sky, having passed through the center or not having reached it yet.
How many of these "coincidences are you willing to accept, O'Connor, in order to avoid the admission that I have solved the Oak Island mystery? You rather make yourself look like a complete idiot than admit that, don't you O'Connor. Now why exactly is that? I don't think you even KNOW why you're doing that. Maybe you don't want to admit that your li'l buddy, Tank, was ALSO wrong about me all this time. You wouldn't want to disappoint Tanky, now would you D'Arcy? Then he wouldn't be your drinking buddy anymore, huh? Then you'd have to buy your own extra large draft with double froth. Better to let the world believe you're an imbecile than that, Huh O'Connor?

JB:

You and your theory are 100 percent right, and everyone else (especially me) is 100 percent wrong!!

There, feel better now?

D'Arcy

Yes, and there goes the free draft with double froth. A noble sacrifice, if ever there was one.

Hello JB,
I just had a thought. Wouldn't it be a smashing idea to actually document your theories with physical proof from the island itself? You could go there and take sextant readings from the boulders to the skies, to the other boulders, etc. It would also be interesting to see some photos from that vantage that affirm your star theory.
It might also assist you in confirming any reports of inconsequential large rocks around the island. And what's more, you could do it from the sea if Mr. Nolan would not allow you land access.
I, for one, would be looking forward to the photos and sextant plottings.

Thank you

Yes, it would be a smashing idea, and when you're done let me know. You'll have to use your own yacht, though, mine's in drydock for a hull debarnacling.

Admittedly, the view is a little different from Nova Scotia than from France, but you still have the constellations Cepheus and Cassiopeia in the North sky. The closest I could get was Windsor. The important thing is that the Northern Cross, which has a star partway up its stem, just like the OI Cross, points directly to the group of constellations represented by the Poussin shepherds, the left shepherd representing Cygnus. Cassiopeia was replaced by a shepherd which resembles Bootes or Perseus, but we can be certain that it is the Cassiopeia group which is being alluded to because we have Cygnus, Cepheus and Andromeda clearly shown and there is only one group of constellations directly in front of the top of the Northern Cross and this is it. Yes, Poussin was a little tricky by replacing Cassiopeia with another character, but an intelligent person can easily see what group of constellations is being alluded to and Cassiopeia's absence is itself an anomaly which makes that constellation highly suspect as being involved in a secret.
Can you think of any other plausible reason for a Cygnus shaped cross to have been constructed on oak Island? I sure can't. They want us to look up at that constellation. Why?
