OT: The answer to the question that has plagued mankind for the last two years!



I recently found an entertaining site called "All Things Philosophical in Buffy the Vampire 
Slayer". http://home.4w.com/pages/btvs/index.html

This site asks the big questions and invites meaty philosophical discussion; could Buffy have 
handled telling the truth to her mother any better? Should Xander have told Buffy about 
Willow's plan to restore Angel's soul? What is the nature of the soul in BTVS? Should 
Willow have told the others about Tara sooner instead of keeping their friendship secret("just 
mine") for so long? Should Angel pay for the sins of Angelus? Can there be redemtion for 
Faith?

On the subject of Faith, I found on this site the one piece of information about Faith that 
everyone has wanted to know. The following is a direct quote from the site;

The meaning of "five by five"

The "Five by Five" comes from military radio operators who used the phrase to tell 
the person they were talking to how well they were coming in. There was a five point 
scale in two categories, strength of signal and clarity of transmission. A strong, clear 
signal was coming in "Five by Five", lesser signals would be judged with lesser 
numbers. Radio operators and other servicemen picked up the phrase to represent 
generally good circumstances. So when Faith says everything is "Five by Five", 
things must be, by her standards at least, going great (Hugin, Feb 24 12:11 2000).

So now we know what 5-by-5 means.

Now if someone would explain to me what Willow meant when she said, "Don't warn the 
tadpoles" in her sleep---

Peace, Love and Riley-bashing,
Kirayoshi
The Chosen One, who will fulfill the Prophecy and bring balance to the Force
