Weekend Round-Up: Speaking With Your Dollars, Making The Millennium Falcon, And Facing The World’s Deadliest Wave

SCP-504 – SCP Foundation

Two things in this world are known to be dicey: humor, and user-generated content online. Put the two together and you get a lot of chaff with your wheat, certainly, but not only is there wheat to be found, there are some positive gems out there as well, to stretch the metaphor past its breaking point. A personal favorite of mine is the ongoing project known as SCP (Secure, Contain, Protect) which has as its conceit that there exists a top-secret organization tasked with concealing and containing psychic and supernatural anomalies. Community members contribute entries and most are very serious, but there are a number of humorous entries as well, and one of my favorite involves a rare strain of tomatoes which hurl themselves, violently, in the direction of any audible joke. SCP-504-J, presented for your consideration; first discovered “after a woman reported to the police that her farmer husband had been ‘murdered by his lunch.'” (Bonus: SCP-blank, which reads, in its entirety, “It’s a rock that makes you procrastinate. I’ll finish this later.”)
