Is this based on a true story?
Is this based on a fictional story?
Is this something that could happen in the real world?
So I assume that PO box didn’t double as a hospital room, so they weren’t literally born there?
Were the “people” in your question humans?
Real life humans, or fictional humans?
Was the odd characteristic their origin?
Something physical?
Something about their appearance?
Something about their behavior?
Something about their personalty?
**In 1663, about 100-150 people were born, all sharing an odd characteristic. What is it and how did it come to be?
**
Are we talking about literal births (as in, you know, placentas and wailing babies)?
Some sort of rebirth?
New identity?
Some sort of religious born again thing?
In relation to 1663, is the connection to the parents of the 100-150 who were born,?
IOW, the parents had some connection to 1663 at the time of the birth of their child who is one of the 100-150?
Or, was the connection to 1663 primarily to the children?
Is the actual number of children known, but just estimated here for convenience?
Or, is it unknown?
Does it have to do with nationality or citizenship?
Eligibility for something?
Proof of residency?
kk
Was it something related to biology (as in fertility drugs, or sperm samples)?
Did the PO Box 1663 facilitate the birth of the children?
Facilitate conception?
Facilitate the meeting of the parents?
Did the children or the parents ever physically visit the PO box?
NO
NO to everything here
Fine. Let’s go back to basics.
Somebody received something in a PO box?
And there’s a correlation between that action and about 150 people being born?
NO to everything here.
I’m pretty sure I know the answer. I’ll bow out now, in case others want to have a go.
I swear to God, Mahaloth, if there’s a pun involved, I’m pitting you.
Fine, the PO Box was used for:
-Permanent address?
-Mail?
-Package delivery?
-As a sort of safe?
Was the P.O. box used as the mailing address for the location where they were born?
Were they all born in the same location?
Did the parents share a common occupation? If yes: military personnel? Scientists? Crew of a ship?
Did the parents share any other characteristics in common?
kk
Were they born in Antarctica?
NO
Foreign military bases?
NO
Was it a PO Box used for people working on a secret project, like the Manhattan Project?
YES.
In fact…you solved it! It was the Manhattan Project! The babies were listed as being born at PO Box 1663 because the actual location of the project was secret. Mail-carriers began to get suspicious when hundreds of baby items were all going to the same location.
They were actually born at Los Alamos, but it had to be kept secret because of the project.
Their birth certificates specifically listed PO Box 1663 as their place of birth, which was rather strange.
