[WP] "WAIT! WAIT! Yes, that's the real Mona Lisa...aaaand..yes, I may have stolen it. But it was an accident...before you do anything, just hear me out."	3
[WP] Smoke rose from the distant western town. Its church bell rang crazily, like they were callin' folks to glory, and the train was leaving. With tears in his eyes he stepped to the farmhouse door, met by a morose wife holding the pistols he thought hidden, and sworn years ago were melted down.	3
[WP] You've made an astonishing discovery about dragons and towers. They use them like hookahs. The princesses in the towers aren't asleep or imprisoned. They're just smoked out.	3
[EU] Terminators win the last skirmish, humans are defeated, here in the mountain bunker. With your last breath, you throw the switch, activating humanity's final hope. The old computers come to life, a robotic voice is heard, "Would you like to play a game?" WHOPPER is online.	3
[WP] We don't know how long the animals have been smart. The final settlement was we stay in our barricaded areas and we're safe. But it's time for another insulin run to the Mayo compound.	3
[WP] The desert guides grew nervous at the ruckus from the tomb below. The Egyptian god Anubis was thrown out of the entrance, and lay motionless. Horus was thrown next, screeching in pain. The frail old woman now seemed terrifying, "Curse my grandson!? I'll show you how we handle things in Salem!"	3
[WP] The 'Mars Finger' had always been hotly debated. A worn stone found by the second Mars expedition. Was it naturally formed or intelligently crafted? Fossil or artifact? You just found where it came from.	3
[WP] The alien work crew turned at the grating "HAW HAW HAW" to see the human overseers harassed by smaller, local primates. They thought of the war and constant, seemingly nonsense threats. But the defeated aliens could now see, the primitive humans had indeed, "come at them like spider monkeys".	3
[WP]"FOLD THE SKY!" screamed the spacecraft engineer as the nearby star collapsed. We warped as the star exploded. It was eerie. We physically FELT warp jump. Two days later, the nav computer still has no idea where we are.	3
[WP] It's been 8 years since 'the Telling' began. The spoken phrase that makes someone tell you exactly what they think of you. We don't know if it's magic or psychology, and only works in person, not through any electronic media. Our society has undergone some tremendous changes.	2
