Conspirators!
Sometimes there are stories that don’t quite fit into the conspiracy arena well enough to be a Full on Nibble, but they do get us thinking! So every other Friday, we’re sending out an email blast highlighting news stories that had us a-nibblin’. They’re odd. They’re wacky. They’re f**cked up. Check them out!
(^aliens reading these Mini Nibs. We’re popular all over the solar system.)
Not an election, it’s a Bela-ruse!
So Belarus had an “election” where Aleksandr Lukashenka “won.” The citizens have been protesting ever since. We found a story about a member of the Belarusian electoral commission that was found dead in a river. Oh, by the way, he had refused to sign the falsified election papers. I’m sure that’s coincidence…
A dangerous cult and why the leader is still at large
Warning for all of you who prefer just to Nibble: this piece is a much longer read, but boy is it worth it. Larry Ray, who I’d describe as a sociopathic conman, started a cult when he moved into an apartment with his daughter and her classmates, all students at Sarah Lawrence College. Not really a mystery (because it for sure happened), just a pretty messed up story.
Bury me like one of your Spanish girls (or boys)
Archaeologists found an oddity in Spain. A teenage male was buried with his upper body completely poking out of the grave. Maybe they thought he’d wake up?
The lost Roanoke colony took their ball and went home
In the late 1500s, a British colony settled on Roanoke Island, off the coast of North Carolina. They ran low on supplies and some colonists left to resupply. When the supply crew returned the entire colony was gone. Researchers think they finally found out what happened.
Hope you enjoyed the bites. Don’t forget to sign up so you don’t miss next Monday’s Nibble on Paul McCartney, who might actually be dead…
As always, stay ‘spicous!
