I love the wet moon jokes but I would like to remind you that the water they found is frozen in case you guys aren’t like, reading actual articles about it. Still Very Cool! But not liquids

He was actually interrogated by the Feds for this.
He used logic to figure out the most efficient way the inside of a ship would be laid out. Said ship being a vessel in the United States Navy. It was so accurate that the DoD wanted to know who was giving him details about ship layouts because his description of areas included places civilians aren’t allowed to see ever.
I’m reminded of when Kubrick was making “Dr. Strangelove” and managed to get far too many of the details of the bomber used correct for the DoD to ignore, but he’d only ever seen a couple pictures of the outside of it and just managed to somehow get it right inside and out.
In 1944, Astounding Science Fiction published a serial called Deadline, by Cleve Cartmill, describing a nation at war secretly working on an atomic bomb. People working on the Manhattan Project at the time recognized a lot of information in there that was supposed to be top secret.
The FBI came to interrogate the magazine’s editor, John W. Campbell. He argued that there was nothing in there that a reasonably bright person couldn’t figure out or guess from publicly available information about how nuclear fission works, and the rest is just common sense extrapolation about how engineering works. Eventually, he convinced them that censoring the story halfway through would be much more suspicious than letting it finish.
Then, just as the agents were leaving, Campbell added “Oh, and by the way, I know you’re building The Bomb at Los Alamos, New Mexico.” It turns out about a quarter of the physicists in the US had suddenly changed their mailing address to the middle of the desert.
I’m proud of all of us. This was a TEAM EFFORT, and we DID IT. Everybody hit the showers.
I looked this up and it is TRUE, Bye Bye Bye has reached number 86 on the charts as of the evening of November 7th. Other top 200 hits include Talkin’ About a Revolution by Tracy Chapman, Georgia On My Mind by Ray Charles, and Fuck You Goodbye by The Kid Laroi.
Reblogging this again to add that in addition to “Bye Bye Bye”, the following are also in the iTunes top 100 right now:
“Party in the USA” by Miley Cyrus
“Celebration” by Kool & the Gang
“Fuck Donald Trump” by dropz
“Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye” by Steam
“We Are the Champions” by Queen
“Dancing in the Street” by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas
“Y.M.C.A.” by the Village People (which is especially petty and hilarious because Trump used “Y.M.C.A.” as his campaign theme song)
“Philadelphia Freedom” by Elton John
“Hit the Road Jack” by Ray Charles
Absolutely outstanding work by the American people tonight.
Just realised that if Donald Trump wins the presidential elections, it’ll be 5 years before we can even think about a canon Destiel.. Dammit America, what are you doing!

He didn’t just allow the peasants to steal from it, he deliberately hired guards to protect the field, making it seem valuable and ordered them to be lax in their patrols, so the valuable crop seemed like easy pickings, and even ordered them to accept all bribes and let the peasants go should the guards accidentally catch someone in the act of stealing the potatoes.
He want out of his way to make the damn things seem like the most valuable, but easiest thing to get hold of, in the world.
