Subject: Create your own reasoning as to why Bungie's named Bungie

I used to be indecisive, but now i'm not sure.

Where Bungie got it's name from has been a topic of discussion since the dawn of mankind.
Some say it was the punchline of a very filthy joke, too filthy for anyone not part of the company to hear, others say (I say) that it is the sound that the mythical giant slingshot that will shoot Bungie's enemies into the sun creates.
For those who can't count it's because there are 7 (6) letters in Bungie.

What is your theory as to why Bungie has the name "Bungie"?

Well, Bungie said it was.

Therefore I'm going to... agree with them and wager it's the right one.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

"Although the only ever official explanation reaches new heights of unbelievable lameness, the secret of the actual Bungie name has become so closely guarded, that even a few Grizzled Ancients either don't know or aren't sure if it's true. There truly is a very strange reason for the company being called "Bungie," and we daren't reveal it here. There are...penalties leveled at those who reveal the deepest secrets."

Why is Bethesda named Bethesda? Game developer names don't have to make sense.

What book is this? This is either an amazing coincidence, or an amazing discovery.

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

It had a nice ring to it.

Because "Elastic Rubber" doesn't have that ring to it.
