I just had an interesting thought, ladies and gentlemen.

I was talking to Phaeton via AOL Instant Messenger a moment ago, and it suddenly occurred to me:

What if everything recorded in the Japanese monster movies made starting in the first half of the 20th Century were BASED UPON ACTUAL EVENTS ?

That is, what if Godzilla, Rodan, Gammera, Mothra, Ghidorah and all of the other creatures made famous by the Japanese film industry over the last half-century or so were REAL, Pre-Awakening sightings of Dragons and other such creatures common to the world of SHADOWRUN, nearly a century later?

Anyone else have any thoughts on the subject?

I'll thank you NOT to lump me and Phaeton into the same group, Sahandrian.

EVERYBODY knows that I'M sociopathic, and as we all know, that's a personality disorder, NOT a mental illness. :)

Hmmm...I have to agree with Foreigner's theory.

But what was Mecha-Godzilla, then? Maybe a machine made to fight the horrors in the future?

They should start rounding them all up now. Y'know, so that later they can be ready for GODZILLA VS VERJIGORM: DESTROY ALL HORRORS. :)

...Yeah. It's hard to hide something like that, short of having a mad scientist-esque hidden private military base.
