In the 1950s, a pilot was flying a route that he had flown many times before in the past. Since he was a very experienced pilot, he was pretty relaxed, and wasn't really thinking and worrying about much. To him, it was just another flight out of the many, many he would have to make every single week. But little did he know, that flight would be nothing like anything he had ever experienced. In fact, it would be nothing like anything anyone on EARTH had ever experienced. And it would result in one of the craziest stories the world has ever heard...

The US prison system sees a lot of people. Men, women, lawyers, teachers, people raised in poverty, and people raised in luxury. But the one person you’d be very hard-pressed to find in a prison is a genius, someone smarter than not only all of the other prisoners and all of the guards, but an overwhelming majority of the outside human population as well.

One night in 2000, a college student sat down in front of his computer feeling all sorts of nervous and excited emotions.

For months, he had been working on a software that he felt could really help out a lot of people, and could even maybe change the way the world worked. And after spending countless hours refining and improving his code, that day, he was finally ready to test it out.

As he sat at his computer, fingers dashing across the keyboard, the student felt hope swelling inside himself for his work and for his future. He decided he would start off by simply sending his program out to just one person, a stranger he had met in an online chatroom. He wanted to begin with something really, really small. But turns out, what would happen next was anything BUT small, and soon, the whole world would know his name...
