So, I heard a while back that Bungie got their name from the pun of some inside joke, Bungie being the pun. Has anybody ever thought of what this joke may be, or figured it out, has Bungie ever told it publicly? Just wonderin. Thanks! :D

I still hold true to this day that the joke is that there is no joke.

It all makes sense!

I bet not even employees get to know the joke until they've been there a long time.

That does seem like something Bungie would do.
Also, yea, I couldn't decide what Forum to put this in, it IS about Bungie, and Bungie is kindofa game. They mess around with us, I'm thinking about this too much, shoulda gone in the community forum. Too l8 noaw.

only eat one small snack a week to save money on food and just have water toilet and lights to save money thats my plan

Though the Earth is dying we must enrich her body, for the ground we tread is hφly.

I can vaguely recall what the community unearthed after following a trail of crumbs years ago. But that would ruin the fun (:

Bungie's never told anyone, and yeah, it's the punch line to a joke.

Personally, I think it's something akin to the government storage facility at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark. It's probably the cure to cancer, or the formula for perpetual energy or something.


Thanks, those are some interesting ideas.

Three guys are walking through a jungle when they are caught and taken prisoner by a savage tribe. The tribe chief says to the first man, "I will give you two choices. Death, or bungie."
The man, not knowing what 'bungie' was, decided to choose that, because anything could be better than death. So the tribe proceeded to sodomize him repeatedly, for over an hour until he could barely walk. He stumbled away in tears as the other two men watched in horror.

The chief asks the second man, "Death, or bungie?" The man was horrified by what he had seen, but still would rather not die. He chose bungie, and the tribe proceeded to sodomize him even more viciously than the first man, for hours and hours, leaving him permanently crippled. He dragged himself away, sobbing.

The chief asked the last man, "Death or bungie?" The man decided that anything could be better than this 'bungie', even death. "I choose death!" the man exclaimed, bravely. The chief smiled. "Very well. Death.. by bungie!"

I don't know if this is true or not though... there are many variations of the joke but I heard that this is the one.

EDIT: This was copied and pasted from answers.com so it may not be true.

Hahahaha, certainly seems to fit. Could be, guess we'll never know for sure. It was funny either way.
