Animalia Magazine: Serendipity September Issue

added by makutamon 14 days ago O

The September Issue of Animalia Magazine was called the Serendipity September issue because it was now known that the "creation" of the Animalia Virus was something of an accidental cross between two different experiments: one to treat muscular dystrophy in humans, and the other to enhance farm animals without the disgusting "aftertaste". Of course, the usual internet "noisemakers" began screaming that such a thing was unethical/unconstitutional/etc., but these were getting less and less attention, with one only getting six likes and comments at most.

Because of that, the main article talked about many beneficial things, as well as things that were taken for granted in our modern society, that actually started as happy accidents. While some were more understandable than others, others were downright surprising, such as corn flakes (the cereal) starting out when the Kellog brothers left a dough mixture out overnight, causing it to ferment and, ironically, become easier to digest.

Because of how many accidents ended up turning out fine, or even better, in some ways, the article was actually divided out into several subcategories, each focusing on different things, such as in science, engineering, art, archaeology, entertainment, etc.

What was probably the most shocking was in the article that focused on entertainment, mainly about the things that were completely unscripted in well-known movies that were left in anyway due to being so fitting for the character who committed it. One of the best examples of this was the scene where Star Lord drops the Infinity Stone, but it also included ones that nobody had any idea were complete accidents, like Dicaprio cutting his hand in Django Unchained.

Another article talked about archeological discoveries that were made by complete accident, but some of these would inevitably make sense after the fact. Case in point was the number of underground cities that were found in Central Turkey, best known as Cappadocia. While initially the number of underground cities might seem startling at first, the fact that Cappadocia was in the center of all the ancient world's trade routes (such as the Silk Road), and thus whomever controlled Cappadocia was almost guaranteed a hefty share of the profits traveling through that region, it would make sense that the native inhabitants would want to hide away from the ancient warlords and empires who had them outnumbered and outgunned.

As a sub article, the two shipwrecks found near Aeaea were also discussed, along with the loot that had been found on said ships. While the one young Jean had found was indeed a late Bronze Age wreck, the recycling barge found nearby was a good deal younger than the first one, only the first century AD at best. However, as was often the case, it was the ancient world's "trash" that proved to be the most valuable to history and archaeology rather than gold and jewels.
