"All your base are belong to us"

I've seen it scrawled on walls in various places and I have no idea where it comes from.

Hey Perryinjax :P

I've seen this in several places over several years and never understood it. it's like asking "why does the sun rise in the east?" Don't be a jerk.

"All your base are belong to us" (often shortened to "All Your Base" or simply AYB) is an "Engrish" phrase that sparked an Internet phenomenon in 2001 and 2002. The text is taken from the opening cut scene of the English version of the 1989 Japanese video game Zero Wing by Toaplan. Its brief but intense popularity derived in part from its poor translation into English and partly from its near-accidental adoption by a core group of Internet humorists. While the wildfire has died down, "All Your Base" is still a well-known reference among gamers and programmers

I believe that it is just a profound literary phrase written in one place but other people seemed to imitate and write it in different places cause it seemed to be catchy and interesting though. He's not just aware that he/she got a literary skills but even if that person is not aware of his talent, he made a good impression.
