CrazeLaze Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 (edited) I'm working to get 100% At the moment, and I was getting the "Flying Rats" on the Statue of Happiness. So I decided, to take a closer look at the Statue, and I noticed that 3 or 4 sentence worth of text was written on her tablet, It was quite hard to make out, cause I was fliying my chopper, and moving the camera around, at the same time to get a good angle to see it. All I could see was the words"Your Intellgent" or something like that. But there was some other words, that I couldn't make out. Edit: This is what it says: Send us your brightest, your smartest, your most intelligent,Yearning to breathe free and submit to our authority, Watch us trick them into wiping rich people's asses, While we convince them it's a land of opportunity. JULY IV MDCCLXXVI Edit: I've discovered more of it, it looks like something Rockstar wants us to do maybe for the next GTA.... Edit: Maybe not something Rockstar wants us to send to them...

CrazeLaze Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) I googled it and have found out it says this: Send us your brightest, your smartest, your most intelligent,Yearning to breathe free and submit to our authority, Watch us trick them into wiping rich people's asses, While we convince them it's a land of opportunity. JULY IV MDCCLXXVI So what could this mean exactly? Just a sort of Easter Egg? Edited May 18, 2008 by Goldey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slamman Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Looked like Greek letters/numbers when I was using my scope rifle to eliminate the birds. I did this with only Desconstruction for Beginners as the last complete mission. I've had the phone in SLEEP while I plot out weapons, health and armor.... need to plan escape route in Algonquin, ya know?! How would they fit all that on what looks like one tablet? I had a partial view but the letters seemed large to me (from my memory right now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajjg123 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 God, doesn't anyone know a little history? It's the famous sonnet called the New Colossus written by Emma Lazarus that is actually on the Statue of Liberty. The New Colossus Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they taught us that in school even! hahaha To add to this subject, I went up there just now and saw a third pigeon so be warned...shoot from a distance and avoid being spotted in close quarters! I also grabbed the tourist T shirt Happiness Is.... Nice! I had just bought a 3-piece suit however, and was looking rather dapper, now I am a bum again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voteneg Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) ACtually we no longer welcome those "aliens" to our shores. Too many Mexicans in my State taking up the good jobs! The good jobs shingling roofs? I'm cool with the mexicans... they do some hard work... it's the Somali cab drivers that drive me insane. I know some good Somali immigrants who have made an excellent start owning their own deli and everything... but for some reason there seems to be a disproportionate amount of them gravitating to taxi driving. Very rarely will one know where he is going... it's typical that they would talk on their phone in Arabic (whilste drifting into another lane), and they always follow a GPS (which rarely calculates the quickest and or shortest route.) Usually I'll find them taking the long way around buildings or parking lots etc just to get another 40 cents on the meter. Don't get me wrong, I'm the biggest PC Liberal out there.... but I f*cking hate the cabbies who don't know what the f*ck they are doing. They usually have public radio on though... which I do like. But to be honest I'd rather ride with the biggest rush limbaugh listening redneck who knows his way around and who can drive well... than deal with some asshole who cant even understand my damn directions. Its a cultural thing I understand, there is more of a layed back less professional atmosphere in their culture (which isn't necessarily bad) in a barter market system... but when it comes to fixed rates and me getting charged out the ass by the quarter mile someone better get their sh*t straight. Some stereotypes just are true. Edited May 18, 2008 by voteneg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some stereotypes just are true. I didn't shingle any roofs! I built the structural trusses... The same kind you'll be looking for Pigeons on in GTA4! I also did heat-shrink packaging where I was the only white guy, amongst Asians. The thing is they chat on endlessly vs working, or get distracted far too often when they work together.

Cracked Neon Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Just because you're Australian doesn't mean you shouldn't look up what the importance of July 4 in America is. Just because you're American doesn't mean you should expect people to know your own history when you don't get taught anyone else's. Besides, not to be rude, but most American children can't find the USA on the map, so I wouldn't critique his knowledge of America when most of you don't even seem to have it straight yourselves. Either way, the same can probably be said of the UK, Australia, almost any country we care to mention. ((I'm not trying to be personal, but your response seemed at tad harsh)).
