If anyone has a scanned picture of the No Code disk PLEASE send it to me !!!! I would like to display it here , as well as all 4 sides of the cover , spread out like described below , would help . Thanks .
If you notice something strange , or code-ie , E-Mail me & tell me . If your set is different from what is found here , do the same .
No Code has been out almost a half a year & is still wearing out my cd player . I have tried to figure out the blatent use of coding on the packaging but only came up with minimal information . I have collected a bunch of info about the cards , but it seems quite useless . It would take a team of scientists years to figure out all of the code on it . I will still look though . Also , I have heard that the cd is designed to be similar to Ptolemy's design of the solar system . To me it looks like a strange cross between a Ouija board & an astrological chart .
My only set is the first e set , not the variable one or any other.
Still in the works but here you go what do you think? Send anything you can think of that might help . I'm stupid I forgot to save the ppls names that helped . Sorry , those of you who did help .
No Code Theory , version 1.0
The strangest thing I've found is that the cd , it has a bunch of symbols on it & I can't figure some of them out (similar to the back of in utero). No one has really mentioned it . I wonder if the cd & lp have the same thing on them ? Sets C-O- & D do not have Who You Are , In My Tree , I'm Open , & Lukin ,they also have all the same songs in other words . Set Edosent have Sometimes , Habit , Red Mosquito , & Present Tense . O & D have the same ones usually , although I have found two O's that have what seems to vary between what is described as a sphere & an albino face with a rope or spear . The pictures vary , but not much . The first 5 cards are always the same songs Hail, Hail , Smile ,Off He Goes, Mankind ,& Around the Bend ; with different pics though . The fifth card , Around the Bend is always the same , even the picture , a wave . The serial numbers really have nothing to do with it as far as I can see , except to identify wether it is set C-O-D- or E . Here is my idea of how they could have dispersed the cards , but most likely did'nt . There are 4 letters . If there were 4 sets of each letter then that would make 16 . 16 times 9 cards is 144 pictures .
The most common thing is to look at the cover , fully unfolded , like this :
______ _______ | || | | || | | || | | | | | |_____________|
Look at the side with all four sides of pics , & notice it looks like the No Code symbol . Of course it reminds me of something , but what ? I saw a truck with a symbol that was just like the no code symbol , but had the triangle in the circle . It was Identical . Of course we were going like 60 mph , so, I couldn't exactly get out & ask what it was . It was even blue & had a roundy square around it.
Here are the sets I've had e- mailed to me , by number . If it has a ,v. that means it is a different version that I have only heard of once & they will say "with" or "none" , that indicates whether the lyrics are on the back or if it is just blank :

Sysiphus is a character in Greek mythology, Homers _Iliad_ i think. one of the main characters goes into Hades and encounters Sysiphus, who is condemned to roll a stone up a hill all day long. when he finally reaches the top of the hill, the stone rolls down, and the next day Sysiphus has to repeat his sentence--a never-ending cycle...havent discovered its connection to 'Not For You' though. isnt that where it is in the Vitalogy booklet? suggestions?
and as for references to Dante and/or Satan, can we add 'Red Mosquito' to the list? it may be a little more obvious than 'Black, Red, Yellow', but i still think it fits the bill.

>>I learned in English class today that Satan in Dante's "Inferno" has >>three heads: One is Yellow, one is red, and one is black. Possible >>reference? Post what you think...
Oh dear! I think you have been studying too hard! Seriously, I passed this question along to a Dante scholar I know. She saw no relevant connection between the lyrics I gave her and the Divine Comedy, but said she would write me a short note re: the exact reference to Satan's three heads. LOL! JulesRaven
Quoted directly from Grolier's Encyclopedia
"In Greek mythology Sisyphus, the wily son of Aeolus and king of
Corinth, outwitted even Death. When Death came to fetch him, Sisyphus bound
him in chains so that no one could die until Zeus freed him. Sisyphus then
went to Hades, but he had previously instructed his wife to give him an
improper burial and was allowed to return to Earth in order to settle this
matter. He then refused to return to Hades. When Death finally claimed
him, Sisyphus was condemned eternally to roll a heavy stone to the top
of a hill, only to have it fall back each time."
I got this from the newsgroup too :
I was a nursing student for a while, and yes, No Code is a medical term (although I don't know if PJ is using it in that sense). A No Code is someone who has signed papers stating that in the event of clinical death, they do not wish any heroic measures to be taken to bring them back. (In other words, just let them die in peace without any chest-banging, electrical shocks, etc...) Usually on the patient's chart, they just simply write the letters N/C so everyone knows not to call a code on them.
