News of the Weird

Yeah, the grotesque one will probably get started on this one. But it's amazing what people are ready to do for fun. I've never seen anyone do it, but there sure was talk growing up about licking a toad.

CNN is Fake News, they've staged broadcasts before in front of police line tape.

ABC did the exact same thing,

That's nothing. Years ago NBC firebombed up a Chevy truck pretending it was a typical crash test demonstrating how easily a Chevy truck would explode in an accident. Jane Pauley's show (Wouldn't you know) paid off the GM lawsuit and stayed on the air, having other questions asked over the years. They usually don't have much to worry about when caught.

^Well the size of a large pop back in the 70's and 80's was the size of a regular pop these days. Also, less chemicals in the food. More physical education, less technology to stare at. People weren't on their Atari for 5 hrs straight. People had more social skills back in the classic rock daze.

That's because in the 80's every home had TV Guide, the best selling periodical in the world for decades. Because you could find what was on every channel in every city, every grocery store had it in the check out line.

Today no such publication exists, there is no need for many to read. Spelling skills have suffered accordingly.

Ah I remember those days, the TV Guide, Paper Drivers Licenses, government owned telephone systems, government owned liquor stores, everything closed on Sundays.

But is it real? Is there a real story within?

There once emerged the story of a rich man who buried gold, silver, precious gems. And left behind several cyphers as to where he buried it. One of them was cracked long ago, it told the vicinity but not the exact burial place. Was it a century or more before a government coding computer confirmed the result which had previously been claimed as debunked? The cypher told where to find each word to use to gain the message: though the original solution was claimed as being the Declaration of Independence, but in fact there are many editions with many variations. But the computer didn't need it, it simply gave the probability of the same answer as was previously offered. There has yet to be a person claiming any solutions to the other cyphers, as the correct documents have never been chosen. And might have multiple versions to moot them. The computer accomplishes nothing on them.

So is Krytos real? Is there really a solution? People say that the buried treasure story is a hoax, perpetrated by a man who sold his kit to finding it. And it sold well. But did he make the story up? He did not make up that his father worked for a wealthy man by that name. Or that the man had to leave in haste, seemingly he'd have no time to dig up his treasure. Or that such a rich man seemed to disappear, as the formerly rich often do. Which still doesn't prove the treasure was ever buried, or not reclaimed.

Is the treasure real? Is Krytos real? Might the original message contain misspelled words that make the code cracking options useless?
 
So to buy a copy of a DaVinci painting for $10,000 and then have them say 'Oops, it's the original and now worth $450,000,000, you want to ask the question why a real DaVinci would be is worth that.

Well, I want to know why 'Artist unknown' brought $10k for the copy.

You don't really think the Vatican Library could be safe, do you? The Vatican came into possession of the library that the Columbus' fortune built, that of Christopher's son Hernando. This after he died. Thus did the library, to which all other libraries of the time combined would pale, begin to disappear. Christopher was one of the world's wealthiest men when died, just a small fraction of that built TWO great collections, one of which wound up at the bottom of the ocean when the ships went down.

I shutter to think of just how much the Vatican owned at the time it went missing.

The letter stolen from the Riccardiana Library in Florence turned up in, get this, the U.S. Library of Congress, alongside national treasures like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Best to get rid of the cell phone, be hard to do. Next best situation is to buy a burner phone with cash, and buy the loading cards with cash. Then your still on camera at the local convenience store, in the UK those stores camera's are linked to the government.
 
I've got your burner phone crowd right here. They acknowledge they're criminals and need to hide, no pretense of being anything but fiends anymore.

Admit it, you're behind all of this. Not just calling her that, you did it to test out the prank new law you tricked them into passing.

If it wasn't you, maybe it was this guy.
