Croatia.

No, she went of her own accord.

why do you think shes the owner?

She looks pretty ownerish in these two pics:

Okay, so Croatia is our country. Now, what does HRuCH stand for?

adherents of the cult of the QUEEN ALIEN gather to pray as she prepares to deposit her eggs

the white-shirted dude is either a new initiate or has just been picked as the sacrifice...

Let's not beat around the bush here - they're Christians, aren't they? A millenial sect at the very least. The gentleman in the white shirt as the charismatic Koresh figure. And our friend on the left? The rapturous jiggling has had a strange effect on him. But I think - I think - he's just about managed to hide it.. I think everything's going to be ok..

Well 'ch' can mean Switzerland so it could be some kind of Croatian-Swiss exchange group...

They're scientists!

agh, resize one pic tuomas

we can conclude from the resolution of their so-called photography that these being are AT LEAST 40 FOOT HIGH and we mock them at our peril

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:18 (eighteen years ago) link

the question is that everyone seems rilly pissed at the forced "festive" nature of the event -- so who's the one pressuring the rest into it?

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:19 (eighteen years ago) link

in fact if you look v.closely at the first picture several of the vast figures seem to have tiny hapless humans held daintily in their hideous talons

the ritual crushing begins: see how the smallest female presses her "palms" together

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:21 (eighteen years ago) link

Znanost.org is some sort of Croatian non-governmental organization for co-operation between scientists. "HRuCH" could be short for one of their projects. This explains why the party is held at someone's home, they don't necessarily work at the same place.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:22 (eighteen years ago) link

green jumper lady or far-left red jumper lady are the likely culprits?

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Europeans don't interest me as much. :(

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:25 (eighteen years ago) link

Why?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:25 (eighteen years ago) link

YAY *MAD* SCIENTISTS!!: hruch is the sound an ilxor makes when squished flat

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:26 (eighteen years ago) link

They probably don't have MySpace profiles.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:27 (eighteen years ago) link

the shiny thing in the background is our ENTIRE COSMOS held in a festive stasis field which will later in an ironic twist o'poetic justice become a game of marbles played by even bigger aliens haha

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:27 (eighteen years ago) link

why would they have a party if they dont know each other, esp a party in someones house

― RoxyMuzak© (roxymuzak), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:28 (eighteen years ago) link

"HRuCH" could be short for one of their projects.

Uh, sorry to be a pedant, but could it be a reference to 'Church'?

I'll cut you a deal: Christian Scientists?

― Nicholas Passant (Nicholas Passant), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:29 (eighteen years ago) link

They have some project they've been working together in, or they are part of some board for the organization.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Why would Croatians use the English term for church, and misspell it, to boot?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:31 (eighteen years ago) link

If you want to be a real detective you've got to be logical about these things!

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:32 (eighteen years ago) link

Hr are the first two letters of Croatia in Croatian; European acronyms often use the first two letters of a word rather than just the first.

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:33 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm afraid these characters lack the cosmic mystery and mythic appeal of Wayne, Megan and Laurel.

― lupine luck, Monday, 6 February 2006 17:36 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm pretty sure that HRuCH means "Croatians in Switzerland." The picture was taken in Zurich.

Also this text ...

Sva ljudska biæa raðaju se slobodna i jednaka u dostojanstvu i pravima. Ona su obdarena razumom i sviješæu i trebaju jedna prema drugima postupati u duhu bratstva.

... translates to: "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood."

Which suggests, if syntax is more or less the same as English, that "i" means "and," and "u" means something like "in" or "of."

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:37 (eighteen years ago) link

I tried to search for some info about "Daleka Obala" and why would it make a roomful of scientists dance in such fervor, but I couldn't find too much about the band.

(x-post)

Jaymc, you're a real detective you!

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Christian Scientists aren't known for their logic. I have no such excuse.

― Nicholas Passant (Nicholas Passant), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:39 (eighteen years ago) link

This opens a whole new vista: why are they in Switzerland? Is their hostess Swiss?

Scientists, eh? They're doing an experiment. They've got to count to the square root of 11 december 2004 in the Unix calender, then clap their hands (one of them is caught in the act) and then backwards to zero again and open their eyes (three are done already).

Both Leggy and Necky are obviously using their fingers for the counting.

― StanM (StanM), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:42 (eighteen years ago) link

What's on the yellow star? Is it a pig's nose or an upside-down smiley?

― StanM (StanM), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:44 (eighteen years ago) link

jaymc, you are a real asset.

― RoxyMuzak© (roxymuzak), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:44 (eighteen years ago) link

Also, doesn't the rug on their couch look like a logo of some kind?

― StanM (StanM), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:44 (eighteen years ago) link

i guess that what's not gonna happen is some sorta group action?!?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Roxy: it's spelled asshat. (just kidding J!)

― StanM (StanM), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:46 (eighteen years ago) link

No, I don't think a tensome is going to happen here either. (5 girls + 3 guys in the picture + 1 disembodied hand + 1 photographer)

― StanM (StanM), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:47 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm not convinced that far-right red shirt is the homeowner, here. She could totally be a partygoer who brought food.

xpost haw

nah that acting towards each other in a spirit of brotherhood is the so not gonna happen

They are making the blue thing levitate!

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:51 (eighteen years ago) link

Do you mean blue (veined) thing?

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:54 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm guessing they rented the appartment together. Nothing there suggests someone actually lives there (think away the christmas decorations and it's a totally anonymous room with a sad garden table and some nondescript default art that came with the frame).

― StanM (StanM), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:54 (eighteen years ago) link

StanM, you say ten, but there is clearly a full front-on reflection in the window, making eleven. xposts

― melton mowbray (adr), Monday, 6 February 2006 17:55 (eighteen years ago) link

Do you mean blue (veined) thing?

yes, but I am not confusing it with a penis.

Not sure if this necessarily deserves to be posted on Loftus' thread so I chose a tertiary thread instead
