I remember that around 10-20 years ago, in Peru, there was this case of an near entire village beign found dead. From what very little surivors were left, they said that as they open their door to see what this panic was coming from, they would drop dead in the door way. It was later found that due to the geological conditions in the area, Co2 sat at the bottle of a lake bed until a small tremor caused some Co2 to break the surface. The air density around caused the gas to get pulled to the surface, expand and start to pocket under the lighter o2 and other gases in the air. I would no be suprised if the metorite hit a pocket of Co2 or some other gas caught in the earths crust.
Im not going to say as to what is beign transmited or the reason for existance of an organization that a few fellows of mine have created a few years back, but this is really not an new thing.
For a few years (sometime pre 1996) we have been passing encrypted messages ove the net through means such as Craiglist and more so any ad service. Except while we knew we were not the first ones to do this, it was about some time in 1998 that one of us recived an reply with a message of the same formating of "Hello world".
Now because non of us knew anything of Hello World beyond that of the programing world, we thought nothing of it. Damn wish we held onto it.
P.S. take five and run
I got you all beat here. I went on a tour of the US mint in sanfransico about 2 or 3 years ago. While there I decided to goto the bank after remembering there are $2 bills, and picked a few to use just for asshole value. While in the mint snack shope/cafe, I went to get my lunch and I hand the woman a few $2 bills who in return says to me.
"We dont accept novilty money." With that quote I poited to the cealing behind me where large bills were haning in display and there was a $2 right there.
How can you work at the MINT and not know?
