Does anyone else notice how many bug references there are? A ton in tha story that was put together, and in tha random msg's within tha page:

"MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY Phasmids. I have to signal, I can't stay stranded here. But if I somehow am operating behind enemy lines, I don't want to draw attention to myself, either. Therefore, I shall be a phasmid. Phasmidia Elegans, they call me-scourge of the sandbox. God I hate it here. Phasmids."
--I found out that Phasmids are those stick bugs.

"MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
It happened one day, about noon, going towards my boat, I was exceedingly surprised with the print of a flea's naked foot on the shore, which was very plain to be seen on the sand."

--Fleas...

"MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
Those are pearls that were her eyes:
Nothing of her that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange
Eight legs (I feel them walking on me) and how many voices-three? Five? Eight?-I am become a most delicate monster indeed.
What a brave new world-sand and darkness, sand and loneliness, sand and emptiness, sand and the spider-what a brave new world, that hath such monsters in it"

--Spider

"MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
Gap in the clouds: head suddenly much clearer.
The spider is working on me.
I must be in very bad shape."

--Again, spider

"MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
totally different kind of memory all of a sudden, floating up like a bubble from deep water, then *pop* on the surface of my mind. All in black and white for some reason, faded out, or just time bleaching the past like it does, time is hard that way, if you-
stop. stay on task, girl.
so *pop*, and I'm...
playing on the beach, very young, making a castle out of sand. It's a good castle, I'm smart, I'm really smart and I'm good with my hands and the castle is beautiful but the tide is coming up, I'm making dikes and moats and outer walls, getting a little desperate here this castle means the world to me it's way better than my brother's, but the tide is rising and rising, the tide is always coming up and no matter how hard I try to save what I have made, sooner or later the spiders wash over it and melt it down I'm losing the memory already I can't see myself was I wearing a dress or overalls or ...? There's a boy on the beach next to me but a wave comes up foaming with spiders and takes away his face-
oh.
we're made of sand.
we're both made of sand.
uh-oh.
I will stand firm. I will hold my edges and remember. I can do this. I know how to remember things, even through drugs and torture. seek evade reveal resist. I will not dissolve.
There are people who love me. I know that even though I can't remember them. I will not be forgotten. I will not be forgotten.
There are people who love me. There must be.
here come the spiders."

--More spiders...

At tha top of tha blog it says:
"One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug"

...tha name of tha site is i love bees, and tha countdown uses tha term "metastasize" which means to change (like metemorphesis).

In one of tha blogs on tha site it talks about this (they refer to it as a BUG):
"I went hiking in Claremont Canyon yesterday to clear my head. Three hours, six miles, and 1000 ft elevation change later, I was sweaty, sunburnt and still fixated on the bug and its countdown. While up there, didn't pay enough attention to the trail... scratched my palms slipping on loose gravel, more than once. Now it hurts to type."


Tha site its self talks about an infestation:
"At this time, I am unable to sell honey because of an infestation of varrao mites in my hives. I hope to be back in business soon!"
--...so maybe that might have ta do with something-?


....so do any of these references mean anything? (My theory was that this quite possibly might reveal something in tha storyline... something like tha Matrix when smith changed people into him... well maybe all tha humans on earth in tha game will be changed somehow... into covenants(sp?) maybe? lol... or something like that)

Bugs ruin everything.
Especially if they are in Halo 2.

I know that everyone has seen 'em... I'm not posting them like "hey, I found something new!"... I'm posting them as references. Would it make sense if I said "You know that one msg that you see after you go to HIVES and refresh it 3 times..."? No, it wouldn't... So if ur not gunna post anything relevent, go away.

He's got a point. Don't try to tell people what they can and cannot post. If the moderators find the post inappropriate, we'll lock it.

Maybe they are trying to say at the end of the countdown, Halo won't have bugs and the game will be done. :)

The only problems with that are that tha game takes place on earth, and that I think tha person talking is a woman. (Maybe not in all tha lines, but in at least one of 'em)
