[OT] I'm (not) onto something here!! Read!! This whole Ilovebees thing has gotten people looking just at the site for info. But while I was searching the web for more clues I stumbled onto something. A Halo 2 website connected to xbox.com. As I entered it I noticed something very familiar on the upper hand corner of the screen. A count down clock similar to the one on the Ilovebees web site. I quickly posted it on the ilovebees blog but something was not right. It was erased but the owner....maybe Bungie or Microsoft perhaps? I know that that clock on that site has something to do with all this. The site is http://www.xbox.com/assets/en-us/flash/games/halo2/index2.htm I know it's tied into this whole thing I just don't know how.

Yeah. It's counting down from 89 days.
Check your calendar.
Welcome to November 9.

Maybe they only want to keep smart posts on the blog?

and halo2fan... they probably erased it so more math-challenged, uh... individuals, such as yourself don't all start spamming the blog with:
"omfg!!! teh new countdown si gooing down from 89 days!!!!1 waht kan that meen?!?!?!? omgwtfbbq!!!!!!1138"
seriously dude, that's a countdown (on the official Halo2 site i might add) to the release date of Halo2 in stores, what exactly that date has to do with this ARG, we don't know... and at this point, we don't really care

Speaking of math-challenged..... I've discovered something very special! The countdown on the homepage of ilovebees.com is counting backwards. If my calculations are correct, the rate of speed the countdown is occurring will cause the timer to runout on August 24th! Amazing! Something big is going to happen on this day!
August 24th is also the birth date of Hideo Kojima, the creator of the Metal Gear series. Perhaps on this day in the year 2004, Master Chief will remove his helmet to reveal his true identity as none other than.......Solid Snake!

CoffeeJedi, you ALWAYS crack me up with those kind of lines... I literally laugh out loud (at work) every time... Keep up the good work!
EDIT- It appears, however, CoffeeJedi, that you have been trumped by Nikolass's rampant idiocy. (OMGIHOP!!1!! MASTER CHEIF SI ZELDA!!! THE COUNTDOWN IS 2 THE TRYFORS!!!)

Speaking of math-challenged..... Sorry for the double post........my computer is antiquated. I've been offered several thousand from a museum for it.
