EDIT: Thanks for wrecking my joke by making me double post, technology. You always know just what I want.

Cool man.

Yo where can i torrent a pirated copy?

 

What you need is a page of all circles, then just fill in the details of each letter.  Let a blank circle represent the space, and you've easily got a better system than the Latin alphabet we're stuck with.

Actually, a blank circle would equal an "O", but I do get what you are saying...maybe replace the matoran symbol for O with a circle with a hollow dot in the center, that would be a good replacement...or make the space some new symbol, like a plus sign in the middle of the circle, or something unambiguous like that.

 

Well the first option won't work because that's the symbol for zero. And a plus symbol looks a lot like a 4.   Maybe you colour in the whole circle?  That'd be pretty tedious to do for every space, though.

Are there any universities that let you defend your thesis via trial by combat?  Because I'd totally watch that.

But then why were there Toa with the same names as the Toa Mata?  They existed tens of thousands of years prior to Mata Nui crashing onto Aqua Magna.  And why was there a villager named Makuta?  I'll grant you that it explains why the camouflage generated such an improbably geographically diverse island, but it doesn't really account for the seven G2 characters who have G1 counterparts.

Unless you're suggesting that the Protectors managed to generate a signal at the Temple of Time that triggered the release mechanism for the Toa Mata from within the Codrex, causing them to be jettisoned down to Aqua Magna in advance of the Mata Nui robot, allowing them to defeat a rogue member of the Brotherhood of Makuta who had teleported out of the Mata Nui robot long ago, disguised himself as a Mask Maker, and accidentally got trapped in a pocket dimension, only to be defeated by the Toa during his escape attempt, who used the teleportation technology of the Red Star to beam back into their canisters, ready to be shot out again in 1000 years when Takua assembled the six Toa stones, thus embarking on the series of adventures with which we are all so familiar.

Because if that's what you're suggesting...

Then maybe.

Unimportant is when something is not important.

Unity is when something is not ity.

all words shall be one syllable in the future.

Just one?  No can do.  Why would you think that?  How could that be?  I don't think it can be done.  Why do you say such things?

I really like the rust coloured ones like you'd find in Australia.  I mean, I've seen enough regular coloured sand for a life time.  There's just something about that orange sand that makes it that much more exciting.  Then you've got the contrast of the sky, plus maybe a little scrubby vegetation if you're lucky.  It's like no other place in the world.  Also, they don't even have cactuses for you to worry about.  It's definitely my favourite desert.

Yep, I've got an April birthday.  Now that I'm graduated, I've gotta say that I'm not missing the assignments or exams that kept falling on my birthday.

I have felt your pain, my son.

It's okay to admit you're lonely, Spirit.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Ah, Tennessee. The land of bad pickup lines.

"Are you from Tennessee? Because you're the only ten I see."

That's all I know about Tennessee.

Ehlek was a fantastic set.

 

Was...

RIP green joints.

What's the story behind having 2 Panrahk?

100% of murders were performed by people.

This holds up.

Okay, guys.  I think it's time to make a confession...

I'm the Piraka Rap guy.

This was all back in late 2005 as part of an elaborate Hail Mary marketing ploy from the year that also brought us Free The Band with the All American Rejects, Toa with laser swords, Stuart Sayger, and that one set where they have those weird lava boats with random weapons sticking out all over the place.  The idea was to get a fan to write and produce an over the top musical commercial.  As some of you might recall, I started to release my Flash PSA series in 2006 as well.  These were also a part of the marketing campaign, and were produced by the same studio.  Unlike the Piraka Rap commercial, their goal was more to bolster Bionicle's cult following and to provide fansites with more creative content.  My uncle was friends with a Lego marketing executive, and he told him all about my musical talent and sense of humour.  So I pitched them my idea for making the Piraka have a rap song to both broaden Bionicle's appeal and also to make an ironic statement about the comical effects of poorly adapted cultural appropriation in corporate marketing.  And the rest, as they say, is history.

I'm also Spartacus, Iron Man, and the real Slim Shady.  Fake stories for those secret identities to follow as well.

Back in my day, we sent each other real envelopes for our BZP discussions! Topics took months to finish and were usually past the revival date by the time you got them.

However this was an improvement over the old system of actually attending an ancient Roman forum.

I choose to believe.

But you don't need that mask.

You were handsome all along...
 
 
 
 
 
On the inside.  Yeesh, only on the inside.

Look, if Anaconda isn't a true work of art, then I don't know what is.

Is your job taming horses?

If so, you'll probably need to learn how to do that pretty soon.

I have so many questions as to how this took 14 years to happen.

Unfortunately it's more lucrative for foreign investors to use real estate as a tax shelter than to actually invest in local businesses.

So enjoy those inflated housing prices! No takebacksies!
