The second picture reminds me of a screen-shot from a video game. I’m thinking either Daxter or Mario 64 for some reason.
To me, it looks like 2 bees crawling on a hive. I’ll keep google-ing and see what I can find.

This is the only part of Box 23/Advent I dislike, the time difference between US and UK that means that I might sleep now and miss an update. Heh.
Alecks, yeah, I’m of the same mind but thinking termites. The yellow-orange blobs on the side being their backs, while the dark brown-grey in the centre of the big grey area is the actual head of one moving upwards.
Ok, clicking on Box 23 links to that page, its a directory on the old DinosaurDracula site. Contains four images.
Untitled-1 appears self-explanatory, screw conservation of giant crabs.
Untitled-2 is the mansion these days?
Untitled-3 is BBC news report, perhaps meteor shard ala Smallville and the meta-humans?
Untitled-4 is that Doctor?
It’s obvious that Untitled-3 is only telling us that Hssxxlllo uses Firefox.
But really, look at the other tabs that are opened. Besides the BBC one, there’s “i c u,” “YouTube – Tuamotus Coconut Crab,” “Missing People | Home,” and “Hot Pack, Self Heating Meals from Canl…”
Probably stating the obvious, but the “i c u” tab is dinosaurdracula.com.

Also “understanding hell” is in the google search bar. I just tried searching it myself and nothing really caught my eye. Then again, I am not very good at these things…:S
And then went back to the classic i c u page: http://dinosaurdracula.com/
At the bottom is the picture of all the characters listening to Santa. Right behind Mista Snowman is the lego character doctor..
Isn’t untitled-4 a sliver of the same character?

Nice. Daily clues already?? You guys pretty much have it all worked out. Not much I can add at this point.
Great work, everybody!!

I removed mega5 and the webpage for the following: http://www.x-entertainment.com/updates/pics/
Is a mixed splash page for Dec 5th 2007 advent calendar and the Christmassy version of X-entertainment. ANything special on Dec 5th last year?
I do kinda feel I’m reaching here…maybe just a red herring?

Untitled II, looks like the inside of the mansion, although I don’t think the mansion has round windows like that. It does look like the inside of something that has been destroyed.
Perhaps a look at all the potential dwellings on playmobil.com, might be wise.
Agree that Untitled III, looks like “Dr. Lego.”

If HU is missing Hare and trying to bring her back from hell so help me God I will kick his furry little butt. *sigh*
This is my last week at my old job, so much for getting any work done, huh?
Tres, I think it’s more a ‘dramatic reconstruction’ of the site, seeing as the destruction of a Playmobil mansion wouldn’t have the same effect in seeing a blurred, darkened photo of a real destroyed place.
The windows got me a bit though, as not only did they look porthole-y, but also that the one in the middle seems to be ever so sligly uneven and split.
I’m leaning towards a ‘suspension of disbelief’ that we are seeing the mansion as it exists to them, not what we see in the calendar, if that makes sense?
