Meanwhile in Australia...

Man caught playing trumpet while driving

The first thing I think of is the example Accessibility limitation in GURPS "Only while playing the trumpet". What power was he using?

TK. The citation was really quite unfair, as he had two invisible hands on the wheel at the proper 10 and 2 o'clock positions at all times.

A lion has been seen in Wisconsin. It isn't as good as a phantom kangaroo, but it is still a pretty Out of Place critter.

That's obviously a cougar. Some cases of lions in cities turn out to be large orange house cats.

The artist Cal Redback has produced some images, photoshopped to show people transforming into or merged with plants. This might supply some visual inspiration for your next game. Or nightmare.

Reality quakes and timeline editors always leave behind those little clues to the former timeline's existence. You know, stuff like the famous portrait of Henry VIII holding a turkey leg (which no longer exists in the current timeline), or the series of children's books about the Berenstein Bears (in which the spelling has been altered in all the extant records and physical copies to the "Berenstain" Bears). Sometimes a lot of people have consistent memories of these traces of earlier reality, not just the privileged few PCs independent of the timeline shifts.

Awesome. My family has a decades long joke about bagels. I distinctly remember my mom hating toasted bagels with butter. Then she only ate them that way arguing with me about her preferences. This changed more than once in the later years.
So now whenever anything really weird, or a disagreement about memory, pops up, one of us asks the other how my mom likes her bagels.

British Museum appeals for help in cracking 18-letter cryptogram on 13th-century sword.

You can't fit a lot of data into 18 letters, but if it turns out to match a modern encoding scheme…
