Depending on whether you reference the story to drugs or not you could also associate it with the pill that he offers...So there ya go... -------------------- ...well I thought it was funney...? didn't you?

bogus standard candidate Infiltrator Member # 4592	written Monday, March 7 2005 06:51 Profile #54 The white rabbit may be seen as a fertility symbol. I think the White Rabbit in "Alice in. . ." was a herald. A fertile herald who is good with procedure. Agh. As for the very important date, what is the date?. Is it a date as in calendar, a date as in a person (romantic or not), a date as in a fruit. The rabbit also symbolizes humility sometimes. In old christian themes it also expressed the whole idea of rebirth. Furthermore, let's not forget about the Rabbit in the Chinese horoscope. People born under that sign are said to posses intelligence, wisdom and understanding. Years of the rabbit, supposedly, tend to be years of diplomacy, understanding, emphasis on human rights and all that jazz. They are also difficult to deceive, and excellent judges of character. For the Buddhist it's a symbol of self-sacrifice and, back to the christians it's also a symbol of alertness. But it doesn't seem likely Kel was born under the year of the Rabbit (75 or 87, or 63 for that matter). Maybe it all has to do with golf and dates and pills and drugs and importance and fertility and. Ah. Aran is pregnant and is going to have Kel's baby. No. Wait. Will. Or maybe both will donate sperm to some bank in hope that the future of the human race will be spread with their genetic code. K&A? Why are those two letters important? Kiekegaard & Andersen? How are they connected? Is that why Alice is involved if at all? But. . . it boggles the mind. Er (not Ur!)okay. Bye.

And for some reason, I still don't know exactly why. Where did an analogical/symbolical white rabbit figure in the Matrix? I remember one from Sophie's World, but... At the beginning of the first film, Neo was instructed to "follow the white rabbit," which appeared as a tattoo on the shoulder of a woman. Morpheus later presents the rabbit hole metaphor when presenting Neo with the opportunity to discover the truth about the Matrix. After that, the references stopped.

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Monday, March 7 2005 08:20 Profile Homepage #57 That was also around the time the movie started sucking, as I remember. I once summarized the Matrix as philosophy and extreme action thrown into one pot. Sadly, a little beyond a third of the first movie, they seemed to concentrate too much on the latter. As for the other two movies, I dont even intend to see them. -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Drew By Committee Member # 4233	written Monday, March 7 2005 08:40 Profile #58 You're doing yourself a favor there. :) Still, I thought the action in the first one was excellent for its time - it certainly has influenced many action movies since. And you have to admit that (if by chance you hadn't been tipped off to it in advance) the big twist was pretty good. :) [ Monday, March 07, 2005 08:43: Message edited by: andrew miller ] Posts: 2242 \| Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00

Dolphin Shaper Member # 5437	written Monday, March 7 2005 09:02 Profile #60 I like the custom titles. "A Special Date" I don't really understand, but I like "White Rabbit". It can be seen on any level you choose to see it. To be given a custom title is to be favored in a mod's eyes, though there is the problem of an inability to progress to high ranking titles. Although there are the number of posts, and the custom ones make you unique. -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 \| Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00

However, I am sure that the number, when held against the proportion of female:male members in total, does not differ much... What I do know is that you are currently ranked the 67th most prolific poster of Spiderweb of all time. Congrats! :D I can also start throwing some postage statistics around.

How are those for starters? :) The entire list Edit: 24 members have received an individual custom title of their own (27 if you count Cartographer, and 33 if you count Cartographer and BoE Posse). 42 accounts have been banned. 13 accounts have been canned.
