This doesn't even mention there was an entire newspaper filled with misdirection (Themela, Enigma machines, Mad Hatter, They Live, chromosomes...) or the Shavian text on the badges (all quotes from Buckaroo Banzai I believe). 1o57 even wore a Buckaroo Banzai shirt...gah.

Edit: Also, "Howdaddyisdoing" is an anagram for "Why did I add goons" which seemed very suggestive.

I believe the newspaper was filled with clues for the DCDarknet challenge. That one was pretty rough, I wasted a few hours on it before 1o57 confirmed it wasn't part of his challenge.
