Nah, who needs to socialize when you got punk rock and designer drugs? Besides, I bet they have enough fun criticising other species - just look at how they react to Lulu.

Xavier 10-13-2002 12:29 PM

just wondering... what are thos antenas for?

paramiteabe 10-13-2002 04:18 PM

Could somehow the Vykkers and The Interns be the same race? Both of them look very similar to each other.

Could it be that a long time ago in the past all Vykkers were Interns but something happend among them that made some of them evolve into Vykkers and some not? Like some of the Interns grew smarter than others and they began to follow their own path into the skies to learn more about their world where as others stayed behind and remained as Interns. Maybe the Intern is the early version of the Vykker? Who knows.

Xavier 10-13-2002 05:01 PM

no, I see no relations betweel them!
the head isn't the same
then number of legs and arms aren't the same
they don't look the same, simply no

Horns? If they were aquatic, I'd think sharp pointy things would make a good weapon.

About the once webbed feet thing. Don't they have long fingers? That fits perfectly, the web is just missing.

PA, the Interns and Vykkers look othing alike. Interns are tall, lanky, and have massively top heavy heads. Vykers have like twice as many arms and legs, have heads and egos bigger than their huge buldging tummies. I mean, sure, they both have eyes, and mouths, and arms and legs, and niether has pink dots all over their bums, but they look nothing alike...

paramiteabe 10-13-2002 07:37 PM

Heh I guess it is just me who sees sort of a resemblence. I guess not.

TheKhanzumer 10-13-2002 09:44 PM

interns
 
I think the intern antena are for smelling or something. Or maybe that is how they pick up radio signals for their walkmans. :fuzwink:

Oddsville 10-13-2002 11:19 PM

I think Interns anntennas are for some type of sensory and nothign more. Prehaps thier able to detect heat or movement? But I seriously doubt thier used as wepons, they look to weak.

Xavier 10-14-2002 02:42 AM

I think it's more something like a sensor organ... but it can move when te show expression (when one see munch and the fuzzles free)

can it be for communication?

BigBro 10-14-2002 06:17 AM

Thats exactly what I thought when you first asked the question Xav. Maybe they do use them for communication seeming as they cant verbally communicate to each other. I know they may have had them before their mouths were stiched up but they may have been used for something else before they began to work for the Vykkers. Maybe some kind of long range communication while they were swinging through the trees?

Xavier 10-14-2002 03:02 PM

I'm pretty they ise it for communication but that it isn't the first use of it

Mojo 10-15-2002 12:27 PM

How about those antennae ARE used for communicating.

Interns used to whistle, right? Maybe they whistled to communicate, and the antennae picked up the sounds, or soundwaves, so that they could hear extremely low sounds, and extremely high, on top of the fact they already have ears??? Cuz the headphones look like they are covering their ears, or earholes???

mudflub2 10-19-2002 05:24 AM

RIGHT :D

Xavier 10-19-2002 08:47 AM

Interns have ears...
so you think the antennas where devlopped after they being industrialised?
I don't think so

M.O.M 10-20-2002 07:23 AM

this might of already have been said but Why Do They Wear Speedo Swimming Trunks ????????????????????????????

Wil 10-20-2002 08:43 AM

Why do people wear hoodies when sweatshirts will do? Why wear a shawl when there's nothing wrong with a scarf. It's fashion, that's all. Plus they'd get embarrased if they didn't wear anything around their groin. :fuzgrin:

Mojo 10-25-2002 02:24 PM

:

Interns have ears...
I didn't said thay hadn't...

I meant that the normal sounds can be heared though the erars, like we do, and the ultra high sounds made through whistling are 'heard' through the antennae

Xavier 10-25-2002 04:34 PM

hmmm can be....but I'm not sure about that

M.O.M 10-26-2002 06:16 AM

i thought the antenna were used for expression?

Xavier 10-26-2002 11:33 AM

they are full options antennas :fuzwink:

M.O.M 10-26-2002 03:06 PM

Why do the interns have no feet

Xavier 10-26-2002 05:52 PM

cause their feets are removed, probably because they aren't adapted for the industrial life style

M.O.M 10-27-2002 05:05 AM

OW...WHAT THEY WERE WILD?

Xavier 10-27-2002 05:17 AM

in the begin, everything was wild, never heard about evolution?

M.O.M 10-27-2002 02:38 PM

i thought they were gentically created!

Xavier 10-30-2002 03:50 PM

fleeches are the only creatures who where created? Interns are normal creatures

M.O.M 10-30-2002 03:52 PM

ok...right i am no longer confused

Glukkon killer 11-15-2002 04:08 PM

why are interns mouth stiched up?

Glukkon killer 11-15-2002 04:08 PM

why is abe's mouth stitched?

Fez 11-15-2002 04:22 PM

it official i think that interns were created by the vykkers to do the things they hate to do most, like pushing medical beds and filing papers.

interns mouths are stiched because they whistled alot, the vykkers didnt like this, so they stiched up the lips of every intern.

abes mouth is stiched because he was very loud as a child, but as he got older the stiches were losened.

Xavier 11-15-2002 05:22 PM

Glukkon killer, don't dubble post please...

I thought it was coz the Gluks didnt want him to discover his possession abilities/chant in the first place.

Xavier 11-16-2002 09:09 AM

"abes mouth is stiched because he was very loud as a child, but as he got older the stiches were losened. "
Are the industrial says
but his lips where probably stished by sligs (not gluks) who didn't want abe use his power

M.O.M 11-16-2002 01:45 PM

no chant.........no power

Xavier 11-16-2002 01:53 PM

good logic... that's what the sligs thinked too, but the stiches didn't work anymore after a long time

M.O.M 11-16-2002 01:55 PM

really now i wonder what it would feel like to have the stitch holes but no stitches.

sounds kinda gross

BigBro 11-16-2002 11:14 PM

He still has the stiches, theyre just lose so hes able to open his mouth. Dont you look closely in the FMV sequences? And ont you listen when the others call him 'Stich-Lips'? :p

Xavier 11-17-2002 05:13 AM

Abe hold his stiches as a reminder of his dark past and maybe dark future
