An amateur archaeologist discovered a piece (80 metres) of the Berlin Wall.
Seems like it was somehow "overlooked" when the rest of the wall was broken down in the early nineties. https://pankowerchronikdotde.wordpress.com/ (Sorry, German Language only.) So, what's behind it? - Geomagic / Feng Shui to channel Berlins Mystical Powers? - The graffiti on it contain some secret message, maybe the key to missing billions of the GDR ruling socialist party? (No, really, they existed and vanished after the reunification). - Is it a fake, payed with the still missing giant gold coin? Other thoughts? |

The point of the Babylonian base 60 was that they could do more precise geometric calculations earlier in history than other cultures, without developing algebra and so on. The precision aspect is still relevant. Many calculations resolve perfectly in base 60 that never do in base 10. |

When I dug into the claim last time, it all seemed to come back to one academic who was trying to push his own hobby horse, so he was probably overstating the finding's significance a little.

The communists are just a scapegoat to divert attention. We've discovered that Cuba is the other end of the Taos Hum. Obviously there's a secret US government lab in New Mexico that we've been using to mind control the Cubans with our subterranean ELF beams. Most of the power is focused on Cuba, but there is, as always, a little local leakage.

Japanese man wins custody of 13 kids born to Thai surrogates
Other reports state that he's hoping to have a hundred children. So... this seems so much like a cyberpunk/super villain opening gambit, but what's the end-game?

So there are really people out there who play unicycle hockey. They even have an international federation, leagues and championships.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicycle_hockey It the rules become less kid-friendly, it could be the perfect blood sport for your cyberpunk dystopia. Or a bizarre trial-by-combat on a distant colony planet. Or simply a way of the villain (TM) to ridicule the heroes. What a time to be alive. |
