Aug 24, 1456 Printing completed on the Gutenberg Bible.
Aug 24, 79 AD Mt. Vesuvius erupts for the first time, destroying Pompei.
Nobody expected any of those events. all of which took place on august 24th of some year.

Now back to the original topic:

In 17 days this medium will metastasize.
COUNTDOWN TO WIDE AWAKE AND PHYSICAL:

"In 3 days, network throttling will erode." They are currently beta testing. In 3 days, they will stop.
"In 17 days this medium will metastasize." (metastasis- to grow, infect,spread, or replicate) Halo 2 goes gold and they start mass producing the discs.
COUNTDOWN TO WIDE AWAKE AND PHYSICAL:
31:05:20:04:469 --Bungie, in accordance with the August 24th tradition, releases halo 2, unexpected, to te world.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The game already has an ESRB rating. The ESRB only grades FINAL COPIES. That means that the game is finished.

Makes me giddy to hope that might be right. It's most likely not, but it makes the most sense out of everything I have read so far.
Then I went and read the weekly update from Frankie and this paragraph helped support that theory:

"Concerning updates, Steve Land of Cotton and I have been spending our waking moments trying to finish up all of new content by next Friday (i.e. content complete). Included in this last mad dash is some familiar lands, and yes, I can not be more specific. But lets just say that we have been spending some serious time with some old friends. In addition, we are going through all of our maps to try and finalize any outstanding game play elements, and are also deeply involved in polishing the art in the environments to a fine glossy sheen. One of our major goals in Halo 2 multiplayer is to have at least one or two of the new maps look as shiny as Butkuss car."

If only this could be true...
(these are not my ideas, both copied from bungie.net, just bringing em here to add to the discussion).
