I thought of books I used to read as a kid, called "Choose Your Own Adventure" Anyone remember them?? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Choose_Your_Own_Adventure_booksYou read a few pages, then you are asked what you would like to do next.. eg: If you decide to start back home, turn to page 4. If you decide to wait, turn to page 5. Feels a bit like we are being asked: TMZ just posted more weird things.. If you decide to follow the yellow brick road, turn to page 4. If you decide to go back to Kansas, turn to page 5.

Stumbled across this interesting little article/blog about hoax deaths today... www.nme.com/blog/index.php?blog=123&p=5274&more=1&c=1"Whether or not a fake story takes hold often depends on the level of detail involved. On December 17, 2000, a website purporting to be CNN.com reported that Eminem had died in a drink-drive car crash at precisely 2.30am, on his way to a party. He was driving a Saturn Coupe, apparently. All utter bollocks. As was the story, widely reported in May 2001, that Lou Reed had been found dead in his apartment after taking an overdose of the painkiller Demerol – a ruse echoed three years later, when Michael Jackson supposedly committed suicide by "consuming more than two-dozen sleeping pills". My problem with these hoaxes, aside from their childish cruelty, is that the internet age makes them too easy to pull off. These days anyone with Photoshop can style up a news report to look convincing, or doctor a Wikipedia entry. Where's the challenge? "

This popped into my head this morning. I thought maybe you guys can help because I think it could be a clue. I've been thinking the Dangerous cover holds a lot of clues. I think the numbers 1998 and 777 are featured on the cover. There is a lot of esoteric/occult symbolism. And one thing I just noticed was that you can only see his eyes, so you can interpret that as him being the man behind this circus that is displayed in front of him. Also, during this time period is when he began to wear masks, only showing his eyes. I am not sure what all of this means so there goes my random idea that I need help with.

I´d really love to help with this one, since this album is very special to me. Actually I´ve had almost the same thought about the eyes supervising the circus. Hmm, but where to start? - Tom Thumb and P.T.Barnum are definitely interesting here in correspondence with the hoax. And isn´t the boy who is leaving the "ghost train" in the first gondola Michael himself? Regarding the numbers - I´ve read somewhere that the date stood for the point of time when his current project would be finished. Maybe there was a project connected to "Dangerous" ? 1991 (year of release) + 7 = 1998

And I am beginning to think 1998 means a lot more than we may have thought. One, the number 1998 and how it correlates to the 999 theory (you can go to TIAI to get that). Two, what you pointed out, 7 year difference between 1991 and 1998. Three, I just read on a Near Death Experience that someone's vision was that Jesus would reincarnate in 1998. Maybe MJ had the same vision? I can't say it's true but I can't say it's not true. Anything is possible as far as I'm concerned. Four, if Jesus did reincarnate, he would've been 11 in 2009. 2009 was known as an 11 year in numerology. www.mcuniverse.com/2009-Numerology-Forecast.1953.0.html Oh and I just made another connection. It all started with a 911 call. The number 9 and 11... The connections are endless.

It all started with a 911 call. The number 9 and 11... The connections are endless. There were definitely a lot of references to the year "1991" within the last months. So far I´ve always assumed Mark Ryden made a (relatively) free design for the cover art. But with all these very specific symbols I get the feeling that something important has been overlooked the whole time...
