Weird Wednesdays

Somewhat surprisingly to me, one of the more popular features of the Mythik Blog has been the Weird Wednesday posts. Ahem, well the word "popular" might be a bit too strong, but it's all relative, right? Every week I delve in to the Mythik List of Story Ideas And Strange Real-Life Things, to find tidbits that look interesting. Here are the Weird Wednesday posts all in one place:

• Georgia Guidestones - A mysterious monument in Georgia, USA.
• Lake Vostok - Just a lake. Two miles below Antarctica. Oh, and it has been isolated from the rest of the world for about 25 million years.
• Antarctic Snow Cruiser - The ultimate retro RV for vacations on an empty continent.
• Coral Castle - How did one man build a structure of 50,000 pound rocks all by himself?
• The Voynich Manuscript - One of my personal favorites so far. A 500 year old book written in a strange language that has never been deciphered and is filled with very odd pictures.
• Here Come The Anomalocaridids - Strange, 500 million year old predators that you would not want to meet in a dark alley.
• The Lenticular Reentry Vehicle - The command post for a cold war era orbital weapons system. Oh yeah, it's also a flying semi-saucer. *The most popular Weird Wednesday of 2011 ;)
