Shoot first, then shoot some more.
I don't know if this is something big, but I'll post it anyway.
I recently discovered that the last syllable of the name of the African mountain Kilimanjaro, -jaro, bears a striking resemblance to the ancient race called the Jjaro mentioned in Pathways into Darkness and the Marathon series. The location of Mt. Kilimanjaro is in Tanzania, close to the Kenyan border. The Forerunner artifact that opened the portal to the Ark in Halo 3 is located in Kenya, and i thought this might be another thing that connects the Jjaro with the Forerunner? The Jjaro are very much like the Forerunners from what I've been able to find out about them, but nothing yet has directly connected the two races. It might be just a coincidence, or it might another piece of the great puzzle that is Bungie. Thoughts, anyone?
