    I'd like to think that when Irrational designed and named the Rosies, they were thinking of Rosie O'Donnell, seems very fitting to me

    Yeah I'd prefer a joke about Rosie O'Donnell than feminist propaganda, thank you very much.

    Um, it was World War II. Women in the workforce were pretty much needed. Get a sense of history before mouthing off next time.

    Nothing? Not everything in the game has anything to do with creationism.

    Adam and Eve were both powerups in the game, so that's the relation. They are related by both being things in bioshock that were related to other things.

    Yes, about five months before release. I think one of the several interviews where the team pointed this out, helped a bit.

    According to the Spoilers Thread definition, this could constitute as an Easter Egg, the only question is, did 2K put that in, or did Ryan put that in? if Rosie existed before 1960 then It might just be a catchy nickname.

    Rosie the Riveter was created by the U.S. Propaganda machine during WWII. So yes, she existed before 1960. She's on that extremely well-known WWII Propaganda poster saying "We can do it!"

    so It might be a true Easter Egg, or it might just be a propaganda/pr move by Ryan

    theyre called rosies cause they have rivet guns. I think thats about all it means. No deeper. Would you rather have them called "those big daddies with guns" and "those big daddies with drills" rather than rosies\bouncers
