Sorry, but you theory is incorrect. For example, the corridinates 43.0726, -89.3986 are right on the University of Wisconsin Campus (I live right by it and went to school there). These coordinates are almost right on the University Book Store, which does not sell video games of any kind. The coordinates 43.0748, -89.3978 are almost right next to the bookstore and are pretty much in the middle of a small area between the bookstore and the library where food stands are set up. I don't think game stores have anything to do with these numbers.

HOLY -blam!-! I am a Junior at the University of Wisconsin. There is a shop next door to the bookstore called Digital Outpost which sells games for PC and Xbox. This is proof enough for me.

edit: Hell, I just remebered that I am wearing a watch right now that I bought from that store! I'm part of the riddle! I'M PART OF THE RIDDLE!!! BOOYA!!!


Hey,

...you serious?

i dont know if thishas been pointed out before but on the hives page where you hear the bee buzing sound. you can almost hear voices with the sound as it plays. i wonder what they are saying.

they're saying I LOVE BEES and BEES... and that's all i heard. anyone tried using MapPoint? i dont have it.

Awesome, there's a lot of coordinates pointing in my area. That would be awesome if it were true. Oh man just thinking about driving a warthog around places I know excites me too much.

I've checked (on foot) two of the 6 coordinates in NYC:
40.7298 -73.9952 Greene St (bet mercer & wash sq near NYU)
- at the exact coordinate lies a NYU book store that sells computer stuff as well. But less than two blocks away there is a Gamestop store.
40.7318 -73.9836 14th st bet 2nd and 1st 10003
- Here nothing special at the exact location (except a tiny little computer and cellular shop that doesn't sell games).

I think you are going at it the wrong way. The coordinates could have more to do with the story line of Halo 2, like where Covenant land or where they bomb. I don't see why it has to have anything to do with "real life" when supposibly the whole "I love bees" thing is revealing or will reveal parts of Halo 2's plot.

Wouldn't it be funny if the coordinates formed a -blam!- which was giving birth to copies of Halo 2?

Hmm, do you think, if they are really supposed to point to places having to do with the selling of Halo 2, that these are the only places? I think that if this [purposely points of game stores] is the case, then they just chose a bunch of stores, and that they aren't necessarily special. They are just there to prove that they are pointing to game stores; they wouldn't point it to every single store. I could very well be wrong though. And while it seems to much of a coincidence for it to be about the storyline, that could be a possibility. Though it doesn't really make sense to me.

Someone needs to plot every coordinate on a map and post it. Mabye it makes some kind of circle or square, or if you connect the dots you can see something? someone please do this.

it won't create a very useful pattern since, for example, there are 6 locations in NYC (a few miles apart) and others across the whole USA (a few thousand miles apart).
...Unless the locations in NYC form a mini pattern... worth trying.
Wonder also why all the locations are in the USA (as far as I can tell).

[edit] no, no visible pattern in the 6 locations in NYC

ha, i did it for 8, theres to many

here
its not good, but im to tired to do all 200 or however many, if there where a way to macro all the points maybe, but i've been using this place where it only does one at a time then puts that on a map, and im to lazy to do it with an image editor, i numbered them in order from lfet to right going down, so 35.2204 -114.0358 (top left) is number one, then 33.7895 -117.9149 is number to, at top right, then number 3 39.9116 -86.2157 is left column, second from the top, ect. ect.

No idea what this means...but if you google bees and longitude and laltitude you'll find that there is a huge amount of information. Apparently if you own a beehive you have to register. How do you do this? WIth long and lat coordinates. Here is an article to check

http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/kids/satellite/story1/story1.htm

Bad thing about this...is I really have no idea how this plays into it.

3 (of the 6) locations in NYC:
40.7298 -73.9952 Greene St (between mercer & wash sq near NYU)
40.7630 -73.9565 Rockefeller univ, E66th & York ave 10021
40.7729 -73.9639 Whitney Museum, 74th st & park/madison 10021

One interesting thing is that the ilovebees mentions a "Capt. Greene".
So could all these locations be related by names to Halo2?

Ok people...
these are NOT locations of game stores.

The second coordinate listed on netninja (http://www.bees.netninja.com/wiki/index.php?title=GPS_Coordi nates ) is about 5 minutes away from me (2565 Harbor Blvd, ANAHEIM, CA)
I know this intersection. there is nothing there except a hotel.


Interestingly enough, less then a mile north is Disneyland (1313 Harbor Blvd.)
