Think Tank's Names

Post » Mon Jul 25, 2011 4:57 am

Mobius says he renamed the Think Tank with names referencing a loop, to keep them looping through their routines rather than going beyond the Crater.

Klein = Klein bottle
8 = Infinity
Borous = Oroboros (A snake eating it's own tail)
0 = Zero (Infinite loop)
Mobius = M?bius strip

Does anyone know what Dala's name is a reference to?

I'm pretty sure it's a reference to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandala as the name means "circle" which is another form of infinity.

Since she isn't a man they probably just chopped the man part off the front, which is clever in and of itself.

Mobius is also a reference to Morbius from Forbidden Planet.

No he isn't. He's just a reference to a Mobius strip. That's just a coincidence.
