You know, I don't know why, but I never thought about where Kain and Nod from Command and Conquer came from. But one day it clicked, "Duh, Cane and Abel. Genisis Chapter 4." But to educate others who don't know on that story...

Well Adam and Eve's first child was Cane, which literaly meant in Hebrew "Crusher" as in God refering to the first Prophesy when talking to the serphant. "He will crush your head and you will bite his ankle" and Eve thought Cane was the one to fullfill this prophesy. Well... she was wrong. And Adam and Eve's second child was Abel, which literaly was Hebrew for 'useless'. Nice parents...

So one day the two kids wanted to sacrifice crap to God. Abel got a goat and Cane got practicly a gift basket full of fruit. God accepted Abels offering but not Canes, because it was lame. So Cane was really pissed and killed Abel one day, making Cane the first murder and God laid a mark on him, and the hair on the top of his head came out (Kain was bald, hint hint). Now Cane ran away from home so mommy and daddy wouldn't be disapointed in him. Know where he went? A town called Nod, which was hebrew for 'wander'. They took him in and had a few kids. Now if you think about it, Kain in Command & Conquer constantly refers to people as his children, which there is actualy a 1/10 chance you are Cain's kid since he was one of the first people on earth and had like 10 kids, which had like 10 kids of their own each, and so on.

So now you know where Kain and Nod came from. Unless you already knew, which I doubt a majority of people know.

Yea, nice to know the Pasidon is tinken'......
...
But my version is so much more deeper than the wikipedia version because I use clever words like 'pissed' and 'lame'. So... woe on wiki.

lol,

oh and it wasn't a town called nod, it was the land of nod (which sounds more like you would go there for nap time)

anyway, yes, i think the C&C people wanted to make Kane the same one from the bible, living forever or whatever

after all he always seems to evade death, and is very religious("you cant kill the messiah" and other stuff)

also he's in red alert, but not in red alert 2 tho :wacko:

anyway, cant think of what else i was gonna say (if i even was, honestly i just forgot, detracted by the smilies, lol)

I think its not that he is literally the Cain from the bible, but that the story of Cain and Abel was based upon him in the Tiberian universe.
