The Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE) was a psychology experiment that attempted to investigate the effects of perceived power, focusing on the struggle between prisoners and prison officers. It was conducted at Stanford University on the days of August 14–20, 1971 by a research group led by psychology professor Philip Zimbardo using college students. In the study, volunteers were randomly assigned to be either "guards" or "prisoners" in a mock prison, with Zimbardo himself serving as the superintendent. Several "prisoners" left mid-experiment, and the whole experiment was abandoned after six days because of the adverse effect on the subjects.

The fastest manmade object isn't a hypersonic jet or spacecraft, but a large manhole cover...

When the US started doing underground nuclear testing, nobody really knew what would happen. One test bomb was placed at the bottom of a 485-foot deep shaft on July 26, 1957, and someone thought it was a good idea to put a half-ton iron manhole cover on top to contain the explosion. The bomb turned the shaft into the world's largest Roman candle, and the manhole cover was nowhere to be found.

Robert Brownlee, an astrophysicist who designed the test, wanted to repeat the experiment with high-speed cameras so he could figure out what happened to the cover. So another experiment was created, this time 500-feet deep, and a similar half-ton manhole cover was placed on top. On August 27, 1957, they detonated the bomb. The high-speed cameras barely caught a view of the cover as it left the top of the shaft and headed into oblivion. Brownlee used the frames to calculate the speed to be more than 125,000 miles per hour.... more than five times the escape velocity of the Earth, and the fastest man-made object in history.

Physicists have debated the whereabouts of the two manhole covers ever since. Recently, with the help of supercomputers and a lot more scientific knowledge, physicists are certain that they wouldn't have had time to burn up completely before exiting the atmosphere. This means both of the remaining pieces would have passed Pluto's orbit sometime around 1961 and are way beyond the edge of the solar system by now. Keith Anderson, 2019

1976 Tangshan earthquake - Wikipedia

A magnitude 7.6 earthquake that hit the region around Tangshan, Hebei, People's Republic of China on 28 July 1976, at 3:42 in the morning. The maximum intensity of the earthquake was XI (catastrophe) on the Mercali scale. In minutes, eighty-five percent of the buildings in Tangshan collapsed or were unusable, all services failed, and most of the highway and railway bridges collapsed or were seriously damaged. At least 242,000 people died (some have said three times that), making this the third (or possibly second) deadliest earthquake in recorded history. The lack of warning and foreshocks, in contrast to the earlier 1975 Haicheng earthquake, was a principal factor in the large number casualties.

The various suits and puppets used to bring the Wamp to life in Empire Strikes Back, 1980. The original idea, to use a suit for the majority of the creature's screen time was complicated by continual performance issues with the costumes. This led to not only use of quick edits and puppetry but it also affected the script which had the creatures much more involved with the Rebels situation on Hoth originally. The story was supposed to be that the heat from the base the Rebels relied on to live was slowly attracting the Wampas who were begining to dig right into the base through the ice. This was an added threat to the Rebels but would also eventually stymie the Empire's troops when they landed as well. The issues with the suits created meant that aspect of the script was almost completly cut out.

A 17-year-old Marcus Sarjeant shoots blanks at the Queen, 1981.


On 13 June 1981, Marcus Sarjeant joined the crowds for Trooping the Colour, finding a spot near the junction between The Mall and Horseguards Avenue. When the Queen came past riding her 19-year-old horse Burmese, Sarjeant quickly fired six blanks from his starting revolver. The horse was momentarily startled but the Queen brought her under control; she was unharmed. The security quickly reacted and subdued Sarjeant, who told them “I wanted to be famous. I wanted to be a somebody”. In questioning, Sarjeant said he had been inspired by the assassination of John Lennon in December 1980, and the attempts on the life of Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II.

The driver was a 27-year-old taxi driver from Ħamrun named Carmelo Aquilina. Months later, in February 1984, a court charged him with publicly tarnishing Malta’s religion by choosing to drive into the church. He was also charged with dangerous and negligent driving.

He had also committed over 580 Maltese Lira in damages to the entrance of the church.

The court found that his car had not suffered from any mechanical faults, and they found him guilty of voluntarily driving into the church.

Aquilina was sentenced to three months in prison and had his driving license suspended for three months.
