I think that we can wait another day, don't get me wrong i really do want 1.8 to come out but guys just think, Notch just got married. He needs to have SOME time with his wife.
Total lies. If you look at the 1.7.3 update a the bottom it says REMOVED HEROBRINE. Herobrine was real and did do things like dig tunnels... not sure about the pyramid thingy though.
