Conspiracy theory!

Pokemon. Read that aloud to yourself. Three times. Just do it.

Okay. What does that sound like to you? Apart from Poke Em On? That's right. Poker Mon, which by extension, sounds like Poker Money.

It's not only because of the casino place in the game that they say there are "gambling references" in the game (refer to the box that the game came in). There are many phonetic gambling references disguised through clever spelling and bright colours. Characters include 'Pokefan', 'Pokemaniac', and, most worryingly 'Pokenerd.' No coincidence that these sound like 'Pokerfan,'Poker Maniac' and 'Poker Nerd'. Then, of course, there's 'Gambler,' who always insists that he's going to win the next one. Thus, it can be deduced that Pokemon, as a game, is all about gambling.

Funny what a two-night slog of stats assignment does to a person.

Speaking of conspiracy theories: TUPAC IS ALIVE!!! (link)

Now, I know that it's (probably) not him, but still. It's pretty freaky. He even has the same piercing and facial hair. Or maybe he just does that because he knows that he has a resemblance to Pac.

Word of the day: conspiracy
