September 4, 1978, Sears Roebuck Tower, Northeast Philadelphia.
A clear sky with mild 5mph wind blowing NNE. A bright streak of light shoots down from the sky and impacts the wide center median of Roosevelt Boulevard.
A tight but violent tornado-like funnel cloud erupts from the ground, instead of from a cloud above. This meteorological anomaly, strangely, stays put at the ground-zero impact zone.
As News Media and onlookers gather over the course of an hour (at a safe distance), NASA astronomers announce that a low mass quantum singularity entered the atmosphere and crashed at the site. We had been impacted by a small Black hole.
As abruptly as the event started, the Black Hole Tornado dissipated and simply left a bus-sized crated in the middle of the grass.
News reporter Jeff Mitchelson and cameraman J.J. “Boog” Becquith boldly proceded toward the crater to investigate…
…and dissapeared. :eek:
Recently, an ameteur video editor has enhanced the last frames broadcast from the camera with digital processing tools not available in the 70s and discovered, instead of the Sears tower…which had been demolished in 1994…a Home Depot and mid 90s vintage Nissan Sentra were visible.
This has led those to believe that the journalist and cameraman may one day re-emerge into our corner of the space-time continuum. Jeff and Boog, come home…we have been keeping the candle burning for you.
It’s perfectly fine for dogs to have chocolate; the caffeine and theobromine enables them to actually form words when they bark, but that’s the last thing ANYBODY wants.
Chik Fil-a closes on Sunday so that they can brainwash their employees into joining their secret cult.
They put Walt Disney’s brain into an animatronic figure and he still runs Disney Enterprises today. (Probably not, he would have never bought the Muppets)
Careful, man. There was this guy my brother went to high school with who had the same idea. He tried to start an urban legend about a gang that cut off fingers to get wedding rings, but the police took him seriously and arrested him during homeroom. They charged him with domestic terrorism.
I once responded to a post like this by suggesting that people were using telephone coin returns to spread anthrax, right after the anthrax scare following 9/11, and shortly after that, I saw it posted as real somewhere, and then the UL about the “HIV-coated syringes” are being stuck in payphone coin returns showed up, which may have been an offshoot of my anthrax legend, and that one really took off; it only died out when payphones died out.
Y’all know that story about the JATO Rocket Car, right? Of course y’all do.
There’s been a story kicking around for quite some time by a guy who claims that he engaged in a prank that he thinks, once the Urban Legend became fully evolved, became the Rocket Car story. (Hey, urban legends gotta start somewhere!) The story was on the Cult of the Dead Cow site for a long time, and it’s floated around ever since.
The story is very long, very detailed, and has a sheen of plausibility to it – and is also very entertaining to read. Check it out!
Think about it. He got angry at his ex-wife and her “lover.” He got angry at Troy McClure for the line “But for that ending to work, you’d have to ignore all the Simpson DNA evidence. And that would be downright nutty.” He got angry at Las Vegas for imprisoning him, and look what happens the day he get out!
Odd. I got no warnings from my link (but, full disclosure, I run my browser with JavaScript disabled) but my browser won’t open any links from Wired, with or without JS.
