I went to the slusho website and looked at the flavors. 4 of them had two names with the flavor in it. The two that didnt, Mikan and Nashi, confused me. Why wouldn't they have a second name for them? So I went to dictionary.com to see if i could find a definition. (remember this website is japanese, slusho). nothing came up, except a japanese spelling of each word. mikan - みかん nashi- なし. I went to this online translator and when I looked it said 'There is no tangerine'. I dont know if it helps, and im sorry if my spelling errors messed you up.


Check wikipedia for mikan and nashi Wink theyre fruits

Yeah I saw that too, but i was thinking together they may mean something. I mean, nobody has any REAL info about slusho. I'm thinking the 'you can't not drink more than six' or w/e thing might part of the movie.

 		hydra
Monster may be some variation of the classic Hydra form. I think the cool roar in the trailer could be explained by multiple heads.

 		Does anyone remember the name of the hydra like monster that spawned smaller versions of itself when a part of its body was cut off?

I can't remember the whole thing but I believe it was in the greek mythology, its been awhile since I studied greek myths so I'm hazy, but I do remember a beast very similar to the hydra, believe it might of been the brother, or spawned from similar orgins, but whenever like an arm or what ever was cut off, a whole new creature would grow from the dismembered chunk.

There have been not one but TWO Chtulhu movies made in the last two years.

The most recent one being the one with Horseface...ahem .. I mean, Tori Spelling which came out this year.

The second one was made two years ago by these people.

 		Ganu
The meaning of the name Ganu in Reason #5 wasn't really commented on but I think it's worth having a look at. When I said take Ga from Gaia and nu from Uranus (the parents of Kottos) you get Ganu. When I wrote that I was just noticing that in the words Gaia and Uranus, but now I've done some research and have some interesting things to back that up.

Gaia or Gaea, known as Earth or Mother Earth (the Greek common noun for "land" is ge or ga).

http://www.pantheon.org/articles/g/gaia.html

and.....


Anu/Sky/God
ANU/the/Heavenly/One
Anu/Uranus

http://doormann.tripod.com/engsum.htm

Ga and Anu - earth and sky - Gaia and Uranus - Parents of Kottos

 		WHALE!
Ok, I've seen people say this before and many dismiss it.... the monster has to be some kind of whale thing. At first sure, it sounds a little lame. . . Slusho.JP gives the most clues about it. First of all, all the whale from the depth of the ocean crap in the history. Then all the creepy ass whale happy talk (and please people, how can you really think the happy talk is actual people commenting on slusho, ITS NOT A REAL DRINK)... And then one of them talks about the thames river... the thames river incident was about a whale that came into that river on 1/19 ... day after 1/18.... It just seems now that they are pushing the whale because no one seems to take that theory seriously. Mark my words, its gonna be some kind of whale monster. Haha I don't care if it sounds corny, done right it will be scary.... and that's all I have to say about that.

SEE LOOK WHAT I GOT FROM A MAN ON THE INSIDE, SET WORKER, JJ HIMSELF....



SEE IT IS A WHALE!!!! haha ok the pic, not serious. assumption, serious.

It would be fun to see the whale thing form its flipper into a U-shape to pull off SOL head. The flipper with three claws, I should say.

Well if your gonna dismiss the whale theory because of claws, please remember were talking about a giant monster movie, a giant lizard breathing fire doesnt really make that much sense....its a giant monster movie. And it is not definatley three claw marks, we have no idea what it is, it could be teeth. A GIANT MONSTER MOVIE, things dont have to make a lot of sense. I'm just saying that when the clue sites talk about whales 10 times, it's a better clue then cross refrencing the amount of letters in a sentence and dividing them by sound wavs.... Not being an ass, just taking whats given to me.

 		sounds pretty good. [I'm referring to the multiple head monster theory.]
But, wouldn't it take more money to create a creature like that?
Just curious.
I mean if they expect spectacular special effects with a creature like that wouldn't it take a larger budget?

I like this theory...I think it would be interesting.
However, I'm curious whether a creature like that would take more money to create. Does anyone have an idea if it would?

excuse me if my question sounds retarded.
I'm sleep deprived.
