Funny episode from childhood. We (children from the same street) were 12-14 years old. Beginning of the 90s. The summer. The holidays. The river has arrived, swimming is not possible, boring. There is a printing machine at home. Within 20 minutes, a simple text is typed with one finger. Because of the rise of water, giant soma floated into the river. The dog sat down, the child was scared. The local authorities are urged to be vigilant, etc. We hang on the fence and columns three copies dropped through the copier.
A week later, rumors spread to a couple of dozens of eaten children, articles in the city newspaper about poor ecology and mutants, military helicopter firing slippery monsters from the nurses, and as apophies a complete ban from parents to approach the river closer than 100 meters. No arguments that we printed the original text did not help.
