    You know, a scorpion. Well, you see it hovering, but without flapping. See. No *flap*, it just hovers. Without flapping, of course. It's dramaticaly uber fun to imagine. I think.

    That really isn't funny.

    Actually, I might not explain it in the right way. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    Seriously, I'd like to know as well, although the non-sense side of this makes me smile anyway.

    Basically this guy posted in the S&I forums requesting a bunch of changes to the game, the were about the worst suggestions ever... Things like flash bang grenades and tones of other stuff from other games... At the end he suggested more alien life forms... Like a scorpion, or something that hovers with out flapping...

    So for a long time people were making fun of the ideas... He didn’t read the FAQ or rules before posting so they stickied it as a what not to post thread... I don’t know where it is now I looked quickly and did not see it...

    Here's where it started:
    <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=17547&hl=' target='_blank'>Smart Bomb's thread</a>

    There are a few imitators:
    <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=57270&st=0' target='_blank'>YellowJelloFellow....</a>

    And the phrase is just thrown around as an inside joke. Like "lork on teh clorf".

    I hope this isn't locked. Compile all inside jokes here for new members!

    The seriousness of that thread is actually hysterically funny.

    They were filtered as stupid jokes are meant to die, not be collected and renewed. Given that this has been explained and bears no new information or discussion.
