Storytime with KBC: Phantom Attackers

Happy October, boys and girls! The sun’s setting earlier and earlier, the leaves and the mercury are dropping with increasing speed, and every possible form of edible or inedible material is suddenly “Pumpkin Spice” flavored. And of course with October comes every pseudohistorian’s favorite holiday: Columbus Day! Your annual reminder that “history” is just the bull$#&@ stories that managed to stick around the longest. For the rest of you though, October means Halloween. It means Trick-or-Treating, costume parties, and the only time it’s socially acceptable to make out with a sexy cat. Just be careful when you’re out there running from house to house, either begging for candy or trying to remember which house is yours through a “Pumpkin Spice Ale”-scented haze. You never know what might be lurking in the darkness. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Storytime with KBC: Operation Highjump

Classes are back in session at Pacific Northwest University, and you know what that means. Students! Students with questions. Questions that I’m supposed to have answers to, despite the fact that the subject I teach won’t actually be invented for another seventy years. I’ve got office hours right now, so I’m currently hiding under my desk, typing veeeeeery quietly and hoping this Freshman will decide I’m not coming back and just leave. I might as well use this time to tell you folks a story.

Operation HighjumpIn August of 1946, the U.S. Navy invaded Antarctica. Led by famous not-quite-polar explorer Rear Admiral Richard Byrd, 4700 men, 13 ships, and 29 aircraft were sent to the frozen southern continent in the largest Antarctic expedition in history. Which leads one to ask, “What the…seriously?!”

Seriously. But why would the U.S. devote so many resources to storming the beachheads of an unoccupied continent of icy nothingness? Did they suspect penguins of being communist sympathizers? Sadly no. As much as I might distrust those filthy, tuxedoed fishguzzlers, the Official Explanation™ for the expedition was to practice warfare in an arctic environment. Makes sense…I guess. What with the Cold War looming on the horizon and all. So I guess that’s the end of the story, right? ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Storytime with KBC: The Hollow Earth Expedition

Ugh. This friggin’ heat, am I right? You’d think an organization of gods, demigods, and semi-immortal godlike beings from a representative sampling of the world’s various pantheons dedicated to battling the manifestations of Evil in all its myriad forms and protecting humanity from the myths, monsters, and madmen who lurk in the shadows could pry open the pocketbook and spring for A/C in their chief historian’s office. No such luck. I’m stripped down to my skivvies, and I’m still sweating buckets—which really can’t be good for this ancient Assyrian parchment. I think I might have just perspired away a doomsday prophecy. I’m just gonna have to sit here and think cold thoughts. Snowmen. Ice cream. Siberia. Ooh, Siberia!

siberian-hole

Shoulda taken that left turn at Albuquerque…

You might have noticed that Siberia’s been in the news lately, which is pretty impressive for the world’s largest frozen hellscape. It’s the holes. A hat-trick of massive craters have opened up on the remote Yamal Peninsula, dropping away for hundreds of feet below the earth’s surface. Scientists claim to have a few theories about what’s causing it—melting permafrost, methane bursts, that sort of thing—but get enough drinks in one of ‘em and they’ll admit that they don’t have a friggin’ clue what’s going on. But hey, at least it’s just Siberia. Worst thing that can happen up there is a couple reindeer take a tumble into the abyss, right? Wrong. Head down to South Korea, and you’ll find that sinkholes are popping up all over Seoul, threatening to topple a record-breaking skyscraper they’ve got under construction. Or check out Florida, where a sinkhole almost swallowed up a couple of houses this past April. And back in February there was one in Kentucky that ate a bunch of classic cars at a Corvette museum. In 2007, one of ‘em opened up in the middle of Guatemala City that caused fifteen deaths and the evacuation of over a thousand people. Sinkholes have always been around, but over the past decade or so they’ve been swiss-cheesing the planet like crazy, getting worse and more frequent. Almost like something down there’s popping up to say hello.

We usually think of the earth’s surface as being pretty damn solid. That’s what they taught us in school. That’s why we built all this crap on it—we figured it wasn’t going anywhere! So it’s goddamn terrifying to realize that the ground could drop away from you at any moment, leaving you briefly floating over a bottomless pit like so much Wile E. Coyote. So what’s really down there, under the dirt and the rocks? Science tells us it’s somewhere between three and thirty miles of candy-coated crust, followed by 1800 miles of nougaty mantle, 1400 miles of creamy, chocolatey, molten, outer core, and another 760 miles of crispity, crunchity, iron inner core. Sure, that’s one theory; and a pretty damn good one too. Lots of diagrams and complicated math to back it up. But there’s other theories out there. Wilder ones. Weirder ones. Bat$#&@-crazier ones. And they’re no less true! ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
