All your base are belong to us (Zero Wing)

So what does it all mean?
That Google are closet UFO apologists?!!
Well, if they are, then we are in real trouble, because as I pointed out previously, anyone who believes that green men like to trouble us humans just for the hell of it (and without even so much as making the briefest of formal introductions) is probably very delusional indeed.
But after searching the net for a while I find the answer:
Google was paying homage to the 20th anniversary of 1980s Japanese video game, Zero Wing.
Yep, this is real old school stuff and just seeing the screen shot brings tears to my eyes:
The game play is the standard dodge-and-miss and blast-everything-in-your-way affair that characterized the side-scrolling shoot ‘em ups of that era.
But even though it was just another average arcade game, it will always be known for its classically bad English phrase “Zero Wing is the game All Your Base Are Belong To Us comes from”.
Wonderful stuff. Do you’s nots agrees with I?

Wow, that is indeed an obscure reference. I wonder how far up the chain of command the guy who came up with the idea needed to go to get this sort of thing approved.
