Basically it has come to my attention that this number clearly has some significance to Bungie (well duh....apparently). I've been studying rapidly and stressfully to find answers for several minutes and it has come to my attention that my following theories may be the crucial in discovering the meaning of 42, I mean 7.
1. Bungie seen the film Se7en and thought hey, I like that!
2. I said to myself "wonder 7", and then it hit me! 7 wonders of the world! Could be some significance!
3. 7th group on the periodic table = halogens! (I actually seen that somewhere, I do not clam credit but you can give me credit anyway)
4. 7 deadly sins and stuff
5. 7 days in sunny june by Jamiroquai
6.
7. And finally number 7. They picked the number 7 for the craic!
Ok, so there you have it. My heart and soul was put into this! Out of the list of 7 which one was a good attempt. And Have a had been delightful bungie day!
