Bizarro Day at Six Flags Great Adventure and Six Flags New England this Thursday!

LexCorp is sponsoring it, but I’m still going! It’ll be pretty fun, and I’ll be there to thank all you guys.

I asked Clark if he would go, but he said no, he’s afraid of rollercoasters. Clark is so lame sometimes.

OK, now for the bad news.

I think I may have been played for a total idiot. I feel like a total loser, I'm sorry I got you guys involved. I think I might have gotten you all to help put together something very, very bad.

Like what kind of bad things? Well, I think we managed to put together the device that hit the Superman and Medusa rides. But it wasn't any "anti-brainwashing beam" that we were helping build.

It was a ray to trap Superman forever. It basically was an anti-Superman ray.

We thought the informant was telling the truth. But he wasn't working against Lex Luthor.

He was working FOR Lex Luthor.

Lex Luthor wanted to trap Superman in an interdimensional rift between universes. And so the "informant" used us to help him get the technology he needed to build it.

How do I know all these things? Simple. The "informant" told me all of it. Right before he and his goons threw me into a van and kidnapped me.

There is video out there of him telling me. We need to find that video. We need to bring these guys to justice.

Superman is my hero, forever. If their plan had worked, I could never forgive myself.

You can't believe how happy I am to be blogging to you right now!

Wow. I can't believe it. I'm free!

The day started like every other one -- I woke up in a small room, with mattress on the floor, an inside room of a big structure like an abandoned factory. I heard the sounds of police sirens and a battering ram opening up the outside door. And then, almost in an instant, the Metropolis police entered my little room, with guns drawn. I was free.

Unfortunately, the bad guys were gone. There was a lot of surveillance equipment I caught glimpses of -- maybe they saw the cops coming or listened in on the MPD communication lines. But by the time MPD showed up, there was nobody to capture. Just me, Jimmy Olsen, in a tiny room with a cot, a toilet, and two issues of the Daily Planet to keep me company.

As for what I went through -- I don't really want to complain and whine about it. Actually, I don't really want to think about it. I want to just do the normal things that I couldn't do -- ride my motorcycle, get a chiliburger from Max's, etc.

And I'm doing everything I was dreaming of while I was abducted. I'm on my 4th chiliburger. I'm actually eating one right now. Here. I just took a bite. Mmmmm!

Look, it sucked, but a lot of people have gone through a lot worse than I did. I'm no hero, but I did get myself into a pretty bad situation.

And it's because of one of my ongoing weaknesses -- I'm way too trusting.

You've seen the kidnapping video . But there's a lot you couldn't see from it.

And what you couldn't see is really, really bad. It's about as bad as can be.

But for now, let me just finish my chiliburger!

Thanks again, guys!

Jimmy

We finished the blueprints and it's time for celebration. I'm off to the Olsen Family Reunion right after I take care of this little piece of business. Listen to this message from our secret infomant.



Don't forget to check out LoisLaneReports.com. I may be too busy to post while explaining why I'm not married yet to my entire family!

Just talked to the informant.

He had to deal with a few technical challenges. But he said that the blueprints he is working with thanks to us is speeding up things. The device that can stop Lex Luthor's evil plan to brainwash riders on the transformed Superman and Medusa roller coasters is near finish.

Sometimes I can't believe how brave some people are. This guy is endangering his career -- maybe even his life -- to stand up against what is wrong. Impressive.

OK, now that the device is nearing completion, it looks like the toughest test may be in store for us. Sometimes you have to go into the very heart of the monster -- "the belly of the beast" -- to finally kill it.

That's right. We're headed to LexCorp to liberate a blueprint. The informant can't risk being caught.

So it's up to us. Read this letter



and see what you can do.

And don't get cocky!

Peace out

Sometimes you have to face your deepest fears. You have to look squarely at the darkness. You know the horror, the terror, the dangers that lurks there. And then you have to jump right in.

That's right guys. It's time to head to the Olsen Family Reunion!

(JUST KIDDING MOM!)

I'll be headed back pretty soon to eat as much keylime pie, jello mold, Mom's mac and cheese, and Grandma's ribs-and-french-toast special for a while.

I'll try to update the blog, but you know how Moms are -- I don't know if mine is gonna give me any free time.

Don't worry, I'll be back to keep the fight going. Lex Luthor will not prevail!

Keep on speaking truth to power guys....

Jimmy

It's finally happening!

Lois Lane has gotten on the World Wide Web. She was worried that the inter-tubes were getting too crowded, but I assured her there was still some room here!

Lois is blogging at www.loislanereports.com. Make sure you check it out -- if I know Lois, soon all of Metropolis will be talking about the stories she breaks on that blog!

Title: How we got the Propulsion Unit blueprints

This was a tough one, guys, but you pulled through. I knew you'd do it.



The mole sent us "doctored" maps to Six Flags Great Adventure, and Six Flags New Jersey. You had to look close to see the differences between the doctored ones and the originals, but they're there.





You had to find and mark all the differences in the maps.





When you had this, you needed to overlay the two finished maps on top of each other. The marked differences spelled the word "drop", the directory we needed to find.

Third week, third mole...

Hey! Congratulations, guys. It wasn't easy, but you keep on pulling through. You found last week's microfiche picture of the blueprint.



It all started with the mole's note - A set of lines, pairs of numbers, and the phrase "pgprgrphwrd".



It turns out, "pgrpgrphwrd" really means "PageParagraphWord" - With spaces, it's easier to see : "Page Paragraph Word"



Using those numbers as guides, you needed to search through the Daily Planet and pick out specific words. "2,2,6" corresponded to second page, second paragraph, sixth word. There were a couple articles on that page, but only one had a word with 6 letters in the right spot : The word "answers" from the article "Platinum Flats Aids City Special Crimes Unit".



When you filled in all the words, they formed an acrostic starting from the first letter of the first word. The solution is below:



That's our directory: metropolistechnologies.com/trustme

Guys, incredible news! The second mole has reached out and contacted me. The second blueprint to help create the anti-brainwashing beam is ready for pickup! If we can just get through one little obstacle.
