Oh the beauty of its sunken treasure chests. Of its sunken booty, just waiting to be found.

…Not the economically devastated part, mind you. What is awesome is the idea that people of Greece have turned to thinking outside of the (western) culture box and adopted an internet-powered bartering economy. Living in fiction, man. Someone’s dream. Or nightmare.
Stars Put Up Safety Barriers For Planets. COSMIC BUMPERS.
As scientists have used their super-technos to discover more and more planets, they’ve come to notice a pattern between the distance of these planets from their stars. At first most thought it was because of an unfavorable smell the stars exuded, but it may turn out to be something more clever. The stars themselves put up barriers. Cosmic bumper bowling.
