OP Is there a speaker of Mandarin Chinese in the house?
I have been participating in what is called an "Alternative Reality Game" for a week or so now (hence my lack of time on the Board). An ARG is essentially a game played out on various specially-created sites across the Web, and includes many word-based puzzles (cracking codes, finding embedded text, recompiling fragmented documents). The biggest one to date is called The Beast or AI, and was part of a marketing campaign for the Spielberg movie A.I.. This one (called ilovebees, from the website it started on) appears (at this point) to be a marketing campaign for the upcoming Microsoft video game Halo 2, and involves a young woman heading off to China, and she has left a snippet of what we are assuming to be Mandarin on her outgoing voicemail message. We are also assuming it means nothing more than "Good Bye, Good Luck." but we don't know for sure yet.
If you'd like to help, let me know and I can email you an mp3 of the recording (or the San Fran phone number it's been recorded from.
If you'd like to play along (we've only just begun, we think), check out the forums here http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/index.php?c=15 and the wiki for the game at http://bees.netninja.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
