I think it's funny how Bungie or somebody other than bungie is doing all this to what looked like a perfectly innocent little website about bees. This poor website just wanted to talk about bees and honey and stuff; then all of a sudden -blam- it's Halo-2-groundzero....
funny, like haha funny...
Now for something totally different that's got nothing to do with the trickle of Halo2-pooh... or maybe it does? It probably doesn't... but maybe, just maybe it d- no, no it doesn't...sorry.
I was learning some actual Grecko-Spartan history today while watchin the tube (i know who knew?) While i will not recount the entire record of acient Sparta -partly because i only tuned-in half way through... I can, and will, inform everyone here that the Spartan's downfall was started by a prophecy given by an Oracle. The Spartans were a very superstitious folk and when a foretelling of hard times and a crippled king came out, it snowballed and got out of control. Eventually they succumbed to their fate (maybe they should have never have known it in the first place!) and the Spartans were no more. Their demise was also due to Sparta's incapability of producing skillful politicians and social leaders despite their strict culture that bred the finest warriors and generals. Those warriors tore down the Athens city walls when they deafeted their long bitter Athenian rivals. The Spartans, it turned out, weren't ready for the victory and the spoils of war soon corrupted Sparta culture. It was and always will be remebered tho for being a society that produced the fiercest and bravest warriors.
I, however, did not catch any pbs specials on bees (i know, who knew? you'd think there'd be at least one on) but i do remember that the idiotic Pope -whatshisname- during the italian renaissance (the guy who told Galileo he was wrong about the earth orbiting the sun and not the other way around) had a family coat of arms (i think from Florence) that had the image of 3 horseflies. Horseflies! That ain't no symbol of and for a pope! So he changed it- to 3 bees cause everybody likes how hard bees work and the sweet sweet honey they make.
Anyways... something concrete that actually has to do with Bees and Spartans that maybe you didn't all know about. Something that doesn't have anything to do with cryptic advertising or runaway fandom.
