Chevy "Nova" means "No-Go" in Spanish too. So what does that prove. Ford had to change the name for marketing the auto in Mexico, but after they had already started selling them with the American name by mistake.

I suggest you hit snopes.com and leanr how much of an urban legend the nova=nogo story is.

yeah, google is a crutch. Your point is???

Well, they were teaching that Ford story in my business management class. I'll check on it and ask my professor. I made a mistake, I didn't mean 'Ford', I meant to say 'Chevy'. Sorry, I meant the manufacturer. I have been at this Treasure Hunt too long. Brain turning to mush.

But the point is that major fortune 500 companies have made many mistakes over the years with respect to naming their products wrongly for foreign markets.

You know what would be cool? If ebay gives us a clue #2 for each of the 3 unsolved clues, while most everyone else is sleeping. Then we can share the winnings between us and not have to play tomorrow, and let the rest of them butt heads when they wake up, hehe. 😉

I wonder how many people are still awake and working on this stuff? Maybe someone canput up a page counter page for everyone to click on, in here, so we will know how many saps are still here like me. Before there was about 1,600 people in here in the forum at one time, from what I could figure out from the last test page.

YEA, the idea is to get ebay to toss us another bone. :-0

There is not anything in that article about "registry'. Are we sure that there was an Albany Registry, and that it refers to the civil rights mov't? I am tending to lean more towards the anagrams that I havn't tried yet. I tried 5 different search engines and had only one hit on 'Albany registry' and it was some oblique reference, probably referring to some local registry. I can't say for sure. Can someone provide a link to something that actually mentions the 'Albant Registry' exactly, not 'Regiment' or 'regency' whatever?
