-The '''Birthdate on a Tank''' is a six digit serial number on the left front tread of the [[Scorpion Tank]] in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. It is 030569. It just so happens that [[Marcus R. Lehto]], Halo's [[Credits|Art Director]], was born on March 5, 1969. On Halo: PC it is more blurry, but still partially legible.
