If you stuck through the end credits of Ridley Scott's Prometheus, did you see the question "What is 10-11-12"? in there? If not, the answer to the question is delivered in part by a newly discovered viral website promoting the world of Prometheus, and a new video featuring Guy Pearce as Peter Weyland.

If you ask me, it looks like a moment or two before Weyland stepped out into the audience to deliver his TED 2023 talk.

The website whatis101112.com takes you to a previously undiscovered Prometheus viral website. On the page there is a book with a quote from Thus Spake Zarathustra, the book by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. "What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end," reads the book's cover jacket.

What happens on October 11, 2012, if that is the date 10-11-12 is supposed to mean? Could that be the intended home video release of Prometheus? Perhaps, but a more solid clue might be in the form of the October 11, 2012 enrty found on the Weyland Industries' timeline page. According to that, 10-11-12 is the date that the company became recognized as a legal corporation in the United States and U.K.

Or maybe it's a throwaway, a mystery designed to make you wonder but without a true answer.
