Woa I get it...
Woa, I get that man... those are the pancakes of knowlage and they all want the knowlage... so they fight for them. And that clock thing, the airplane it has is really symbolizing the REAL pancakes. So when the plane crashes, the other guy is sad because the pancakes are lost, but the other two want life which is in the FORM of pancakes... I get it man... I GET IT!
