 		[SPEC] Donkey is as Big as a Whale
Ok, hear me out. (tune me out if you wish as well . . .)

Slusho History Page:
1) Donkey underwater breathing and is not using breathing apparatus. (the kids have snorkels)
2) The story refers to tiny fish growing as big as a whale when drinking secret ingredient.

Slusho Store Page:
1) Whale saying that he wish he could wear a t-shirt, but he is too big so he is only wearing a hat.
2) Donkey is only wearing a hat!! no tshirt!! Every other char on this page is wearing either t-shirt only or hat and t-shirt! Shocked

Conclusion:

Donkey drank secret ingredient and can now breathe underwater and is now as big as a Whale!!!

Discuss!

No . . . it's Chuthulu . . . Rolling Eyes

But the donkey is as big as a whale and can breath underwater due to drinking too much secret ingredient.

 		I see the whale popping up (always after the donkey walks by) and saying it wished it could wear a shirt too, but I don't see anything about the reason being that he's too big. Where'd you get that?

I think the donkey isn't wearing a shirt b/c it's not bipedal. And, neither is the whale. All the other animals walking down the runway have two legs and two arms - shirt-type bodies.

Still, I think there is something special about the donkey. It's curious that it's walks around on both land and underwater - only one pass underwater, but no breathing apparatus, as you pointed out. And, it doesn't show up at all in the air (Downloads page). I like the idea that the donkey is somehow symbolic of the monster - but, only symbolically (i.e., not because a donkey grew into the monster).

 		The donkey has something to do with it, but it's not the monster, so chill out.

And besides, if the donkey was the size of a whale, he wouldn't make a great monster..we can kill whale sized beings pretty easily.

 		hmm, it is odd having the donkey in there, but also the monkey, the otehr are water based creatures. and it they are not they have snorkles, the 2 kids. had a thought and this may just be me reaching too far but
what if the donkey and monkey are part of the KEY (as in donKEY monKEY) i dunno. didn't someone say the key is in the slusho site?

maybe i'm just hoping something happens soon cos for me this is rapidly loosing steam here.

 		OMG
Kerlo FOUND THAT ASS! Laughing

I know you weren't suggesting it's the monster per se but I guess I'm not clear on what you're suggesting it's pointing to. Could you help clarify pretty please?

LOL

Really the speculation is to the effect that SLUSHO/mystery ingredient will have on the ppl that drink it.

I think the History section of the Slusho site is not to be taken literally when they speak of fish, whales, sizes, etc. I actually think that 'Whale' has a different meaning in the context of the history story. Like a bad japanese translation, they probably meant to say something else but are not sure of how to say it in english.

As well, another part of the history page also identifies that Ganu has a "dream" that he's a tiny fish and when he drinks the secret ingredient he becomes an enormous whale. . . .

If you think about it this way, fish breath oxygen by extracting it from the water around them, whales breathe oxygen from air, like land based mammals. Maybe this indicates an unnatural metamorphasis. Gills for lungs or lungs for gills.

Another part of the Ganu "dream" was that a "whale" (which may possibly be considered as a vision of his mother Noriko the "smallest whale") came and told him to drink the ingredient. If you read the last line of the dream paragraph, you can see that it says that he is certain he found the magic ingredient that Noriko had set of to find, however it does not explain how he is certain aobut this and nowhere in the dream does it say that this ingredient was found to be "tasty".

The following paragraph states that he would make his mother's dream (vision) live. I find that this indicates that he is compelled by the vision of Noriko to force everyone to ingest it. The hypenated end part of the first sentence kinda indicates to me that this was added on by possibly a slusho web editor/marketing to provide additional context to that sentence and sell the product.

All of the above is speculation but it makes sense story wise for the beginings of a monster movie.

There are other hints and clus on that page like the Donkey only passing once while the "normal" sea creatures pass continuously . . .

I honestly feel that the answers are staring us in the face but we still cannot see them.

. . . And I bet it has everything to do with that crab! Cool
