       THINGS YOU PROBABLY WEREN'T LOOKING FOR
       ==================================================================
       i
       This is not the directory. This is the other shelf.
       i
       Strange history, questionable ideas, UFOs, old Internet debris, things
       people used to advertise on television, things governments printed with a
       straight face, things that sounded better at 3 AM, and several files that
       probably should have remained forgotten.
       i
       Nothing here was selected because it was new. It was selected because
       somebody might click it and say: WHAT THE HELL?

       The descriptions are part of the evidence. Proceed accordingly.

       Weird geology is interesting. The aliens are on the invoice.
  TEXT WHAT WOULD ACTUALLY PROVE TARTARIA?
       Maps, monuments and windows: what evidence would make this story bigger?

       Neurons, silicon, copies and the possibility that the first artificial mind will not announce itself.

       Underground windows. Before the mud wave, check whether the street rose.

       Fields, fungi and crop circles: botany takes a turn toward cosmic speculation.

       At 02:17 the carrier is present, but nothing audible passes through.

       Six radios in one car, trains in fog, and one man determined to log every impossible signal.
  TEXT HEDY LAMARR FIXES THE TORPEDOES
       An actress sees Nazis jamming torpedoes and invents frequency hopping. The Navy files it away.

  TEXT THE RETURN LINE VIOLATION
       The voice beneath the carrier found a route upstream. The system reports: RETURN LINE VIOLATION.
  TEXT THE KOSHKONONG CAPACITOR THEORY

       A mall dungeon with a Sacred VHS, cow-suit cultists and an escalator maze that wants initiative.

       The Maestro survived Vietnam, got promoted, married into Seinfeld and somehow made it into The Stupids.
  TEXT VECTOR OSCILLOSCOPE FROM HELL
       A Commodore 128 program drawing mutating alien signals with phosphor trails. Assembly language chose violence.
  TEXT TEARS IN RAIN
       Photoshop slices, spacer GIFs and the lost craft of making a website by cutting it into pieces.
