What langauge is this? (Perhaps what it says too)

[JT3]

Hey guys. I sent a parcel over east using regular aus post services about two weeks ago (on the 6th). In it contained a gear knob. The receiver got the mail today and upon inspection, he saw that it was tampered with. Obviously someone had opened it up as it had been sticky taped back together.


We're both curious as to what the note says and what's labelled on the canisters. Any one can help?

When he opened it up, instead of the gear knob inside, he found this:

Inside was a note as well:

Hmm, drugs? :p

[R3N]

nfi... but looks sus as fuck. keen to know story

[Gonzola]

Looks like Thai...

[Milhouse]

Fucking lol, subscribed to this !

[schwarz]

seems like hindi or some other indian dialect.

[JT3]

Hmm, drugs? :p

Everyone's first thought! Haha!


nfi... but looks sus as fuck. keen to know story

Trying to find out what the note says before deciding where to go. I'm confused as hell as to why someone wouldn't just steal the package, but instead replaced it's contents and still arrived at the intended destination.


Looks like Thai...

At first the guy and I thought it was arabic, asked around... wasn't arabic, and now we too are thinking it's thai or hindi.

Still trying to find out what language it is though.

[kurbn]

good to see you can send drugs safely in the post

p.s I would be shitting myself if I had possession of these drugs (if thats what they are) the sender knows where they are located now and if they get handed in they will come looking for the person at the address and bash in knee caps..

hopefully they're roofies

[Milhouse]

Maybe someone is trying to fill a bean bag rather slowly ?

[JBAE]

if its pills that guy got his money worth! IMO they look like plastic 6mm? BB gun pellets they look round

[kurbn]

looks very thai

I'm wondering at what point did they do a swapsies. Cos I handed it in straight to the office counter..

[mr_mike]

give a couple of the "objects" to that guy at work that everyone hates and see what happens.

Good results = sell and profit
Bad results = sell but less profit

[JBAE]

more importantly IF it is drugs how and why did they do it? how do they benefit? i can only assume they know the address send it that way if it gets caught its not pinned on them and then just go to the address at a later date and reclaim?... sucks to be that guy!

[kurbn]

could also be a large shipment of Cailis where you can achieve 12" out of a single tablet

[scottiedoesntn0]

not thai i dont think

looks alot like Lao though which is similar

[n1ghth4wk]

Can't hurt to try one to see what it is

[stumps.]

Agree ^^^ pop some

[Milhouse]

The question is, wheres the gearknob ?

[_oz]

haha interesting thread, subscribed!

[to4garret]

By the writing, you could assume that the person who did the "trade" wasn't very fluent in English, perhaps he couldn't even read the address, he may have just been told that a brown envelope would be passing through and todo a switch.

Interesting for sure.

[Tre-Cool]

Back in high school i had a summer away in india on exchange and can tell you it's hindi.

this may be a bit rough as it's been a while since i've written/read hindi but i'll translate none the less. however it looks like cooking/blending instructions.

it basically says add 4 parts blue pellet to 2 parts yellow and then 1 part green. once blended allow to cool before re-crushing.














Trust Me.

[_oz]

*continues to eat his popcorn*

[disc0-dan]

Wow mystery mail !

Will be putting a gearknob in an envelope and addressing it to myself tomorrow and see what i get back.

[Gonzola]

Don't know your time frame but maybe take a copy of the note to a university language department?

Bit Indiana Jones'ish but hey, it might pay off.

Just make a small sample and stir it into tuna for a stray cat. Watch the effect.

GHB FTW

[Dim]

[flamo_damo]

Perhaps some Alien language?
Maybe they are Alien pills and if you take them you get super powers or something... that would be sweet.

[coFF33]

thai

[Stealthed]

Looks somewhat arabic to me, although I've only ever seen arabic in those hectic "arab drift" videos, so I could be wrong.

[Turbo2.6L]

How many has he taken so far? Thread needs revival, so post pics of pre/post drop please.

[Scaf]

Limitless pills?

[KAL SPL]

I would say its Indian and you have it upside down.

[Brockas]

Well, this is unusual.

The only reason someone would go to the effort of intercepting a package and replacing the contents is if it were drugs...

Do you know this guy? If not, just tip him off to the Feds, sit back and watch the news.

[stumps.]

Limitless pills?

if only

[Mad_Aussie]

Exactly my thoughts. I would have contacted the police straight away hey.

[Turbo2.6L]

I would have double dropped, then decided the best way forward from there :p

[Brockas]

Exactly my thoughts. I would have contacted the police straight away hey.
Maybe the police are the ones who planted the drugs and a fake note, in a big conspiracy to start a war on drugs?

[fourseven]

LOL!

[KyeBidz]

Sell them at parklife, you'll make a killing.

[Mad_Aussie]

I don't think so, unless the Aus Post depo catches on "fire" and collapses. I think it's more likely to be aliens.


Or god.

[waxdass]

Sell them at parklife, you'll make a killing.

+1.

[mattmy99]

Indian guy at work cant read it. He recognises a few characters, but not enough to make a word out of it.
He thinks it's Bangla or Hindi.

[ReaperSS]

Its gang "code" talk lol.

I have seen many pills in my time but never a round one shaped like a ball. I recon it may be sample packs of the plastic pellets that you add to a mould to make plastic objects. Seen similer things to make fishing lures. Adding different colourd balls together will give you a certin colourd effect?

similer to these but round....

...who would intercept an interstate package to smuggle fishing lure components?
:p

[ReaperSS]

...who would intercept an interstate package to smuggle fishing lure components?
:p

They are used to make many more things out of plastic. Also if aust post pulls apart 5 boxed/packages to check inside it is possible that contents from different packages could get packed in different packages and sent

Rex Hunt

Sneaky bastard.

[ReaperSS]

Sneaky midnight uncle ;)

[Tre-Cool]

just think if these are actually drugs, or compounds.

The guy expecting them gets a gear knob turn up. think what the fuck is this shit.

makes a few calls, few days later drug killing reported on tv.

lol

[ReaperSS]

Would have paid money to see his face when he opened the package lol!

[Niva]

pics of sister?

[flamo_damo]

Pics of knob?

[mattyb89]

pics of mum?

[JBAE]

GHB could be a winner! remember the kids bead toys not that long ago that were making kiddies trip balls if ingested as the glue used on them had the shit in it

[Steppo_GT]

lol just saw it went to Mt Druitt, probable picked up the wrong envelope and is tripping balls

[zillacles]

Asked an Indian friend who said he could read it, he said it says "take 4 tablets every two hours from big bottles". I didn't show him the other pictures so I'd say it's right

[XF Falcon]

get him to translate the whole lot please

[JT3]

This is what the receiver told me today


i found out wat it was
my mate said its a prescription
>.< like a panadol or someshit
but its from india?

+1. Still want to find out what sort of pills they are! haha

[rucker_]

WTF just drop one.

[Fukushima]

well if thats what the label says then I'm pretty certian they are homeopathic pills

i've seen people bring them into the hospital, they are usually very poorly labelled like those ones, and weird shape pills

The best part is when people ask me very seriously if their homeopathic pills will react with the medicines the doctors are giving them.

"Not I am absolutely sure they will not"... BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST SUGAR

[Madhav]

I lived in india for 4 years and the writing is definitely hindi, also did a unit in homeopathy and the pills like he said ^^^ are homeopathic medicine. (sugar pills with ridiculously highly diluted substances mixed in) but never doubt the power of placebo, especially one with a side effect. Has been shown (http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2011/jun/23/epidemic-mental-illness-why/) to be basically as effective as some SSRI's with treatment of depression.

[Fryman]

got one of my gimps here to take a look

its not hindi it looks punjabi and something to do with medicine

he also says the handwriting is rubbish and very veyr hard to decipher.

He can readhindi but not punji and on monday will have another guy that can read it properly

[Satan]

sounds about right then, shithouse indian doctors with shithouse writing

[Scaf]

Ok, so some Indian doctor intercepted this package, cut it open and filled it with sugar pills? Something doesn't sound right here.

[f6rspec]

Have you tried one yet :)
it might just be penis enlargement knob :cool:

[devilfish]

looks like impregnated sugar pills for homeopathic medicine to me............

Page 2 mother fuckers! meh what do i win?

You underestimate the lengths an indian will go to to get out of paying for a postage stamp.

[JT3]

lol how do they profit from this if it doesn't go to the right person haha

[Mad_Aussie]

Did you take it all to the police? Intercepting mail like that is still a federal crime, regardless if they're only placebos.
Plus, those pills will make shithouse gearknobs.

I'll let the guy know to do that. Get it investigated further perhaps

[AdN]

Tell your mate you'll send him another knob, then send him sugar pills just to confuse him some more.

[Brett_J]

Chances are both packages got damaged and shit fell out and the wrong shit got put back in.
