10-14-2024 - On This Day in Insane History

On October 14, 2024 in the small village of Nutty Bottom, England, an unusual event occurred that perplexed locals for years to come. It was a typical autumn morning, skies were grey and leaves were falling, when without warning or explanation, a perfect cube of marble measuring exactly 3 meters wide suddenly materialized out of thin air and crashed through the thatched roof of old man Tiddlywinks' cottage. Tiddlywinks emerged from the rubble unscathed but utterly befuddled, claiming the heavy block of stone had seemingly fallen from the heavens.

Word spread quickly around the village and soon a crowd had gathered, all gazing upon the perfectly formed cube with equal parts wonder and skepticism. The blacksmith swore he saw a flash in the sky just before impact while the miller's wife suspected foul play from the traveling circus in town. After much debate, the village alderman summoned the local Brother Mathius, a learned monk, to examine the strange object and deliver judgment. Upon completing his evaluations, Brother Mathius could find no evidence of trickery or natural causes. In his official report, he noted only that "the good Lord works in patterns beyond our ken." To this day, the Cube of Nutty Bottom remains an enigma with no rational explanation for its unlikely delivery that autumn morn in the small English village.
