Something A Bit Cool

I just found something out this a bit cool. Because we live next to a small marsh (Its going to be turned into land for houses in a little while.) there are a lot of frogs. They make the same exact sound as the frogs from the title screen in AO. (Or it was AE I haven't bothered to check.) Whats odd is that the type of frogs that we have in the marsh sound a lot diffrent then that so why this type of frog suddenly appered in the marsh this summer I don't know. Its not that big of a deal but I still thought I should tell someone.

Hmmm...Isn't destroying natural habitats for construction something Oddworld Inhabitants is against?

What's your point? Should OWI shut up shop so that Lorne can go lie in the mud in front of a bulldozer?

They can't fight every battle, man.

PTACO's point is that it's quite ironic, when in actual fact this kind of blatent disregard for life is happening all over the planet constantly. The combined facts that the inhabitants of this particular marsh sound similar to a noise in an Oddworld game and that one nearby resident is an Oddworld fan is merely a coincidence.

You called me PTACO...

MIND READER! GAHHH! Get out of my head!

Seriously, though, did you just go by what I said in the "Backwards Messages" thread?

I wouldn't call building houses a blatant disregard for life. Swamps are cool but houses are nice too, if you want to live in them you have to build them. When and where you do that is all political.
However because this particular swamp has Oddworld frogs in I think it should be declared a wildlife reserve, the species should be studied to see how life from another planet differs from our own, and how it is similar.

I go to the GameFAQs forums regularly.

Building houses is fine and dandy, but it's the fact they'll be destroying thousands of homes.

And after you pet them you should lick your hands clean Stingbee.
