Old DOS based floppy disk games that you installed off 5 or 12 or even several dozen 1.44mb floppies.

You insert disk one, it does its thing. Then the screen prompts you to "insert disk 2" and well, it never actually says to remove disk one.

So apparently there were multiple instances of very, very stupid people cramming a second disk into the drive, which, if even possible, would definitely ruin both.

Pretty sure it's referring 5.25 inch floppies and it was more than possible to cram two or maybe three of them in a drive. The first couple of Kings Quest games would almost certainly have been distributed on 5.25" instead of 3.5" since the smaller format wasn't really widespread until the late 80s.

I definitely remember firing up the Sierra and Infocom games off of 5.25" floppies. A lot of time you'd have to play off the floppies and swap mid-game when prompted.

The article says that she's been wearing monthly disposable contacts for 35 years, so if she thought they just dissolved there would have been a lot more in there. She just managed to somehow lose about one a year without noticing :monocle:

I'm old enough to have played games on a Commodore 64 with a cassette drive. It's true that it makes more sense with 5 and a quarter floppies but that wasn't the urban legend I grew up with.

Either way it's pretty dumb

Passenger ‘passes gas’ on flight, forces plane to land at North Carolina airport

An American Airlines plane was forced to land at a North Carolina airport on Sunday afternoon after a passenger “passed gas,” according to WNCN.

A spokesperson with Raleigh-Durham International Airport reports that mid-flight passengers on the plane began to feel ill and nauseous with headaches. The plane landed at the airport due to a “medical call.”

All passengers were taken off the plane, and investigators later determined the incident was caused by a passenger who “passed gas.”
