Title: Re: Weird Trivia Post by: Gleb Gamow on August 10, 2015, 05:49:02 AM The idea of Semantic Web has been around for a very long time, much longer than most people have been online. In fact, the idea of a “cloud computer” was first introduced in the 1950’s. Remington Rand built a UNIVAC Cloud Computer in the mid-1950’s.

Christopher Burdett of Code Collective LLC, the dude who does some type of work for the government, created the artwork for the card game. Christopher Burdett created his Twitter account at the beginning of October, 2008. On October 31, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto released the Bitcoin White Paper. Who owns The Far Wilds? Jed McCaleb.

The year is 1878. What two amazing things happened in that year directly related to the WOTD? Yes, one is relatively easy to figure out, but wait till you learnt the other, of which there may be a connection. Weird! Title: Re: Weird Trivia Post by: --Encrypted-- on September 01, 2015, 12:45:26 AM found 2 events that happened all over the world and could be related to each other if one believe in supernatural things. but I still don't know for sure if those events are related to the WOTD directly (although I did find that word on various pages related to those 2 events). plus one of them isn't what I'd call amazing.. more like terrible.

so googled around for the second answer... and I found Lorreto Chapel. which might have been completed in 1872 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Churches_completed_in_1872) OR 1878 (http://www.lorettochapel.com/staircase.html).

It's probably only a coincidence that the spiral staircase has 46 spindle thingies, 46 as in the number of chromosomes there are in DNA. Title: Re: Weird Trivia Post by: Vod on September 08, 2015, 04:26:13 AM So you are saying god has a spiral staircase?
