Fun and games on Facebook may have serious consequences for the foolish. That was the message delivered by the US Air Force, who have responded to a Facebook’s group’s efforts to have 450,000 people storm a top secret military base.
Conspiracy theorists have always believed that Area 51 in Nevada holds information about extra-terrestrial activities on our planet, possibly including actual alien remains and aircraft. That belief spawned a Facebook group suggesting that a wave of humanity could overwhelm the defenses at the base and discover the truth.
More than 400,000 people have joined a Facebook event page calling for storming Area 51, with many more indicating interest. The proposed event is scheduled for Sept. 20.
“We will all meet up at the Area 51 Alien Center tourist attraction and coordinate our entry,” the event description reads. “If we naruto run, we can move faster than their bullets. Lets see them aliens.”
Around the time that robot umpires were brought in to help officiate the Atlantic League All-Star Game, Major League Baseball and the independent league’s front office decided to tack on a few more rules to experiment with for the second half of the season. Among them included an expansion on the current dropped third strike rule in the majors, which now allows batters to try and steal first if a pitch is not “caught in flight” by the catcher.
On Saturday, Tony Thomas, an outfielder for the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs, became the first person to actually use this new rule, and the first player in baseball history to successfully steal first base. On the second pitch of his plate appearance, the ball flew right past the Lancaster Barnstormers’ catcher for what normally would have been a 1-1 count. After a couple seconds of inaction between the two players, something appeared to suddenly click in Thomas’s head that reminded him of this rule change—likely a teammate or coach yelling at him. With the ball rolling all the way to the backstop, the catcher was unable to get to the ball before Thomas made it to first safely.
