2012: The Package Dan Koelsch, November 11, 2009November 11, 2009 UPDATE: That was quick. Almost as soon as I posted this, Charlie Frost updated his blog again to let us know that Professor Meyer is dead. He was apparently on a fishing trip, which is ironic given his last update. Looks like when the IHC wants to shut someone up, they know how. I wouldn’t be surprised if Soren is next. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Thanks to our buddy Charlie Frost, we now have the contents of the package Professor Meyers (aka the Theorist from Corruption Theory) sent out to to various players of the 2012 viral.
