Gets weirder...

Called the Hanso hotline again, tried to get Alvar Hanso. Music, Geronimo Jackson, and then a recording asking what I've done with Hanso. Huh? Then I was kicked back to the main menu. I'm trying the other prompts now. One guy is "out of the office for the next three weeks"; another is out for 2, but asked if I was interested Korean offshore project. The third guy, the Chief Legal Officer, grabs the phone away from his secretary as she's leaving his voice mail message - what exec does this?

Then one guy's voicemail starts to access the messages. One of which is a woman saying, "Sri Lanka... just isn't right." Hmmm... anyone charting where this plane could have gone down?

I'm really devoting too much energy to this, aren't I?

I wonder if Persephone is Rousseau's daughter?

Persephone is the goddess of the underworld in Greek mythology. She is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, goddess of the harvest. Persephone was such a beautiful young woman that everyone loved her, even Hades wanted her for himself. One day, when she was collecting flowers on the plain of Enna, the earth suddenly opened and Hades rose up from the gap and abducted her. None but Zeus, and the all-seeing sun, Helios, had noticed it.

Broken-hearted, Demeter wandered the earth, looking for her daughter until Helios revealed what had happened. Demeter was so angry that she withdrew herself in loneliness, and the earth ceased to be fertile. Knowing this could not continue much longer, Zeus sent Hermes down to Hades to make him release Persephone. Hades grudgingly agreed, but before she went back he gave Persephone a pomegranate (or the seeds of a pomegranate, according to some sources). When she later ate of it, it bound her to underworld forever and she had to stay there one-third of the year. The other months she stayed with her mother. When Persephone was in Hades, Demeter refused to let anything grow and winter began. This myth is a symbol of the budding and dying of nature. In the Eleusinian mysteries, this happening was celebrated in honor of Demeter and Persephone, who was known in this cult as Kore.

The Romans called her Proserpine.

Her names means something like "she who destroys the light."

Hmmm... sounds like Persephone is definitely Alex. Now I have to check out that new URL from the Hanso commercial last night.
