On this day 14 years ago, an anonymous 4chan user posted a RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 thread showing a 30,696-foot coaster that took four in-game years to finish, complete with riders screaming “I want to get off Mr. Bones Wild Ride” and a looping exit where “the ride never ends.”
The only books that anyone on X has read is Blood Meridian, Starship Troopers, Dune and Lord of the Rings. And the latter three, people just watched the movies.
"In the 1870s, the city of Liège in Belgium conducted an unusual experiment involving cats as mail carriers. The Belgian Society for the Elevation of the Domestic Cat trained 37 cats to deliver messages in small waterproof bags attached to their necks. The cats were released in villages around Liège with the goal of returning home with the mail, similar to how carrier pigeons operated. While some cats did successfully return, the overall results were inconsistent, as the cats tended to follow their own whims rather than strict delivery routes. Due to their unreliable nature, the experiment was never repeated."
My dear friend & incomparable author Dan Simmons died Saturday from a stroke at age 77. He defied literary norms, exploring historical fiction, horror, crime & other genres. His must-read titles include THE SONG OF KALI & HYPERION. He was one of a kind.
