    I was reading the Starcraft credits yesterday after finishing the missions for the umpteenth time. And some of the thanks puzzled me. Like I don't get why they'd be there. And some of them I plain just don't understand at all. Makes no sense to me.

    My question is I'll list (a long one) of the thanks I found odd, strange or just plain weird. And can any of you please explain why Blizzard thanked them. Like what part they all had to do with the game.

    Jackie Chan helped however. He went up to blizzard and he was like "aii show u good kungfu!!" And the blizz team were liek "OMGOSHNESS you just gave us a great idea to implement in sc!!!"

    and they implemented the zealots.

    Actually I get most of those. Bands or famous people or drinks or TV shows or cigarette companies.

    But there is two I never really got where they come from.

    Operation CWAL
    Apple Game Kitchen

    I know the first is a cheat in the game what where does it come from?

    but you learn better when other people tell you. And the person that told you leans more as well cuz if he writes it all down he will remember it easily.
