- Headline: British Museum's 250th Anniversary Celebration. Impact: As the British Museum marks its 250th anniversary with a budget-friendly celebration, the decision to cut costs inadvertently leads to the creation of 'Museum-lympics,' where museums worldwide compete in bizarre events like 'most awkward statue pose' and 'most dust collected in a year.'. Fact: Did you know that the British Museum has more artifacts than it can display? Yep, they're basically like that friend who buys way too many shoes but only wears two pairs..
- Headline: BP Is Selling Gas Stakes In Algeria To Statoil. Impact: BP's sale of gas stakes to Statoil is the catalyst for a secret society of energy companies that gather annually to discuss how to make gas prices fluctuate at random, just to keep everyone on their toes..
