It's because the year it came out, 2000, is the year of the Dragon on the Chinese calendar. :) I know this because of the various Chinese Zodiacs I've seen. Not only that, but 12 years before 2000 is 1988. My birth year. :D

Wow.
I didn't know that Alec, that the year 2000 was the year of the dragon. That definitely explains it. ;)
Thanks for sharing that information!

Did anyone else know of this?

I did.

Our teacher in elementary school showed us a chart of the Chinese Zodiac. I was born in the year of the rabbit. Anyway, great info Alec. Now more people will know the reason behind the game's title.

I guess so, Erica. I noticed you've been posting more also. I guess for you're 14th birthday you were allowed on a bit longer?

Either way, I'm glad you're here again! And nice pic! Is that the dogs from Nintendog? :P

Yay. :) Glad you appreciate the research(?) :P I recently downloaded the soundtrack too, but it's a bit of a mess. I need to sort out what's what and then I'll upload it on my Multiply account. I've already got the Spyro 1 and 2 ones on there. :)

And yeah, it's cool to see LGD back again. :)

Ok, I've done a little searching, and this is what I found on the Chinese Zodiac. :)

It seems it's not quite as simple as just the birth year. You have to be born withing a 2-year gap which is either starts on January and ends on February, or goes Feb to Feb, or Feb to Jan, but rarely (I only spotted it twice) Jan to Jan. :? Confusing!

I'll admit, I've done that before. I've also tried that with characters from my favorite shows and video games.

Yes, it sounds geeky and stupid in a way but whatever...

I don't think it's geeky. It shows you have an imagination. ;)

lol... my favorite part of the movie was when Bart was all drunk, and well... here's the rest.

Bart: I wish flanders was my father!

Homer: NO YOU DON'T!

Bart: Yes i do! and to prove it, look what i did to your picture! *holds up homer's picture with flander's face "sharpied" on it* howdilly doodily, howdilly doodily, howdilly doodily, howdilly doodily!
