: I think I'm inclined to agree with whoever said that there is more in that
: little collage of random figurines than is apparent upon a first viewing.
: First, that Crayola marker/wooden sculpture dealie is definitely a trebuchet
: (a large siege weapon that slings burning oil, large rocks, or diseased
: deceased animals over castle walls). Remember that Phoenix was at one time
: called "Fantasy Siege." Perhaps the inclusion of a siege weapon
: in the picture is indicative of something. (Maybe Phoenix still is a RTS
: game... balls...)
: Second, the plastic pipe is labeled "The Shaft." I BELIEVE that
: "The Shaft" is one of Bungie's slang terms for the Pfhor energy
: staff (it's on the story page somewhere, I know). Additionally, "The
: Shaft" is the name of a deep, tubular, vertical tunnel in Halo's
: "The Silent Cartographer." Significant? Irreverant? I don't
: know--I'm just throwing stuff out due to sheer boredom.
: After we've identified those two parts of the picture, we are left with Elmo
: brandishing a tube of ChapStick and the Linux penguin. That's way over my
: head. Can anyone else help explain this picture to me?
...hmmmmm..............
