Subject: What I think the main message in the E3 trailor was

The early bird gets the worm, but it's the second mouse that gets the cheese!

I think that the main point of the trailor was to tell us that IF this is the time for humanity to end. We are going out with a bang. I don't know if you guys caught this but when Cortana said "this is the way the world ends" that rang a bell in my mind. THE CORTANA LETTERS!!! so I looked them up and sure enough the last two lines from one of the first lestters said "oh, and your poet Eliothad it all wrong: THIS is the way the world ends" well I managed to track that down to the Poet T.S. Eliot and his poem "The Hollow Men" and in it the final two lines of it say "This is the way the world ends, Not with a bang but with a whimper." So if Eliot had it all wrong than we can all look forward to one heck of a good fight!
I know people found other stuff too but this is the first and only SOLID message that I have found left by bungie. please tell me what you think and add if you have more info. Thanks

Basically, the Cortana letters hold the base of the story. If you look at it in the right light, you could have predicted alot of the events of all the games. You just need alot of time. ;) And not to be lazy. That helps too.
