    Well, some one got half of mine, but it seems to have stalled. I agree, a new question is needed.

    In Halo 2, what does Sergeant Johnson say in responce to Covenant message being repeated as they arrived over the city (the cutscene intro to Lv 2 I think)?

    Bonus: Where is he when he says this line?

    Is this question still live? If not, I'll have a go.

    Think about your automobile. How did the firewall get it's name?

    We are talking about the bulkhead between the engine compartment and passenger compartment.

    How did it get the name "firewall"?

    Close. It does have to with fire but not, for the most part, from the engine.

    Anybody else have answer?

    Clue: what would cause the fire and why?

    Think back to early automobiles.

    IIRC the Firewall is a bulkhead intended to protect the passengers or drivers in case of the fuel tank catching fire. Probably am wrong though...

    Early automobiles or steam engines? The word "firewall" comes from the area seperating where the fuel (wood or coal) was burned to provide the heat to make the steam, does it not?
