While bored one day, I was searching random things in Wikipedia, and one of my searches was the number 117. This number, as we all *should* know is the number of SPARTAN John.

The results were this:

*In the year 177AD, under the rule of Emperor Trajan, reaches it's maximum ever territorial boundries.

*John I becomes the 7th Bishop of Jerusalem

*Construction begins on the Pantheon in Rome.

Its was mainly the bit about John I becoming the 7th bishop of Jerusalem that got my attention, (taking into consideration Bungie's 7 fetish) so I looked a bit further, and found this: (concerning the Pantheon)

*The Pantheon (from Greek Pantheion, meaning "Temple of all the Gods") is a building in Rome which was originally built as a temple to the 7 deities of the 7 planets in the state religion of Ancient Rome, but which has been a Christian church since the 7th century.

A coincidence, that there are so many references to the number 7? I think not!

However, it WAS a coincidence that I landed on this info. ^_^ The universe works in mysterious ways.

Halo's a hell of a drug.

Good find. Some creators are really deep. I think Bungie might be that deep. I hear they also have a feet fetish
