It was late. I was VERY tired. We were on our fifth or sixth game, playing capture the flag in Danger Canyon. Suddenly JC typed "Did you hear that?" I responded "Hear what?" "It sounded like some little girl said Banana!" Manx and I were skeptical. We prepared to take JC to the rubber room on the rocket hog. And then, clearly over the chirping birds, I heard the little girl say "Banana!"

"I heard it." I typed. "I told you." sad JC. "Heard what?", asked Manx. "I heard the girl say Banana." There was a pause. We could almost see Manx listening. Eventually he typed "Yeah, I am just as crazy as you two. I heard it to."

And the rest, as they say, is history.

Have you heard the call of the banana? Is there a girl sending secret messages throughout Halo? Or do you think we imagined it?
