POTUS

April 22 is the height of the Lyrids meteor shower but the moon will be very bright and 'occulting' Jupiter. These meteors come from a comet but look like they are coming from Vega, the alien source of transmissions in Carl Sagan's "Contact."

As for The Sentinel, I think we are being lied to by the media or the Error Logs:

I hope it's BST as that's the actual TIME here. Also if it's really GMT thenit won't actually happen till 4.00 in actual british time, at which time I'll be on a bus on the way home Sad

*Throws Xargon a rubix cube* Thanks for that Razz

OK, it's weird, it's a strange coincidence, but it's completely unrelated to us. Still, good for a laugh on a quiet Tuesday morning.

Re: the Onion article - it's making fun of the Cubist art movement. OOG and purely a conincidence. If we assume everything that mentions a cube is in game we're gonna be searching through a hell of a lot of stuff....

POTUS - I got the impression the smiley was because Lyssa had thought up a cunning wheeze to feed her Earth obsession on the Academy's budget.

As for the meteor shower, there's not really been any mention of anything like this in game so far, plus we won't be able to see anything at 3pm anyway.

And since the original quote was talking about London time I'm confident it's BST, not GMT.
