not sure if this should be in this forum but anyway....
how come bungie decided to name their club thing after something Winston Churchill made up to scare us Brits
?

the history of it is a bit like this... to muster support and general 'togetherness' in britain during the second world war churchil made sum propaganda... he told us that the 7th column was a secret -blam!- spy organization operating in britain. I personally dont mind, but apparently for the older folk its a bit of a dark subject to talk of the 7th column.
anyway, wot do u think? were bungie concious of this? or does it just sound cool?

As well as 7 being rather lucky, it fits in with the idea of the 7th Column - "a clandestine organisation working towards world domination".
