Your kidding, right?
From what I've heard:
There is an island called Easter Island (aka Rapa Nui), where there are
mysterious statues of bunies, and Mata Nui is a mispronounced rip off (kind of
like how Digimon is a Pokemon rip off). AND THIS ALL HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A
BIG EASTER EGG PAINTED LIKE A BUNNY RABBIT!
What I learned:
The turga worship easter eggs. They belive the big egg will be put into a deep
sleep by a dirty peanut shell, who is protected by 4 moldy aquazone crystals.
Then, 6 mighty lima beans come and destroy the peanut shell. Peace at last.
What other great things did we learn from this thread?
