A Secret Apartment in a Mall!
Between 2003 and 2007 a group of people lived in a secret room (750 square feet size) above a parking lot in a shopping mall. They came and went unnoticed.
Eventually they got caught and the whole story came out, but for four years they lived there working on a memorial project to 9/11. Quite amazing.

ChanceChat - Talk with a Stranger
This is a bit of a strange idea- you enter age and gender and similar for whom you’d like to talk to and it connects you.
Its nicely implemented but on the odd occasions I’ve tried it, I’ve found no one as the message above shows. It reminds me of the old joke “You’ve got two chances- fat chance and no chance!”. Hopefully more publicity will encourage people to try it.
There’s a strange appeal to it- sort of like being in a deserted building and hearing a phone ringing in an old disused room. Who is phoning and why?

Ten Overlooked Histories
Everyone loves a historical mystery, think back to the Turin Shroud, the island of Atlantis, the Egyptian Pyramids (How Did they build them?) and the Marie Celeste for example. I also think it’s why the Da Vinci Code was so popular.
So this top ten list of mysteries that have been overlooked is well worth a trip. Whether it is about Rongorongo, the mysterious Easter Island script, the Lost City of Helike or many others, it makes for an interesting read. Oh for a working time machine! If this is discovered in the future and you have a time machine, come and say hello!
