The "Lets Make Up A History Event" Game

[Duke Dudeston]

This as some of you know, spawned off the Because I am Bored.
The point of this game, is that we make up some historical events, and in true VOTD style they can be as random as you wish.

It doesn't matter if the years aren't in chronological order, they can be ANY year, and more then one event could have happened in the same year.

To make it a little more interesting, try to keep the "Randomness" within the time zone you are making up the event.

For example:

"1650 - 3 men fart in space causing the catasrophic re-alignment of Jupiter"

Although that is quite funny, it doesn't really match the year.

Feel free to start off,
You can of course comment, add-on someone elses event, you don't always have to post an event, it will nice to see how random people can get.

2007 Tony Blair resigns as Prime Minister of England. Through blackmail and deceit within the labour party, Big Bird becomes the new prime minister. Mass street riots break out, with the general public being angry with having a foreign Prime Minister.

2008

Prime Minister Big Bird had a few poor months in office, the most memorable part being when eating Turkey Dinner at Christmas was outlawed, and all avian (birds) were then set free into the wild.

This plan quickly backfired and the world was quickly consumed by the inevitable avian influenza (bird flu). Prime Minister Big Bird promptly sneezed himself out of a top story window and had little time to regret his failure when it came to flying lessons all those years ago.

A new Prime Minister was then sought, one perhaps who was likely to excel in fighting the outbreak of disease, which now endangered the entire planet.

Virgin mobile becomes free to use since richard branson has won a 3 week rollover in the lottery and decides he doesnt need to make anymore money. with that all other networks go bankrupt as no one is usuing thier networks anymore. however this adds to an increase of brain tumours and richard branson gets sued and goes bankrupt.

2017, after an ongoing battle with legal issues, Richard Branson just before realising he is loosing everything remembers that Virgin Mobile uses the T-Mobile network, and makes them claim all liability! Virgin is saved, ready to conquor the rest of the solar system.

With the global pandemic of bird flu so far claiming the lives of millions of humans and billions of birds, some birds began evolving to the changing world. They evolved a complete immunity and dependence on the new virus. They now needed the virus to live and so they spread the disease to as many other creatures as they could to secure a future for their kind. Strengthened by the very plague that once slain their kind they began breeding at an alarming rate.

The evolving birds also showed signs of slight mutation and deformity. Scientists believe traces of bird flu DNA were combining with that of the birds, effectively making them a unique species from that of their former blood line.

(I thought it might be fun to skip ahead a bit and leave some details in between for someone else to make up as prequel posts. For instance England still needs a new prime minister and since when did the bird flu virus start being transmitted human to human?)

2012

House prices finally begin to fall due to the huge amount of deaths around the world.
The Prime Minister signs an order for air strikes on Turkey and The Canary Islands in an emergency campaign to rid the world of the diseased birds.

Guns are legalised in the UK in a desperate attempt to wipe out birds everywhere, and Prime Minsiter Gordon Brown does his part by vowing to eat fried eggs for breakfast every Tuesday morning.

2013

gordon brown found dead whilst eating breakfast, apparently it was avian flu.

The mutation of the bird flu birds progresses as their DNA further combines with the virus itself. The birds become blackened and are covered in a tar like substance that slowly drips from their feathers. The substance nicknamed "Death Tar" starts infecting fish and birds that live on the water as it makes its way into the seas, rivers and lakes of the world.

This is the first recorded case of bird flu infecting fish and is a major concern for food stocks of the human race.

As these birds are slaughtered by humans all around the world the tar from the slain birds soaks into the ground where they fell, furthering the ecological disaster.

Although the military is winning, the planet is becoming a less habitable place to live every day.

2015

20,000 leagues under the sea becomes a reality, as different countries build underwater bases as an emergency strategy to keep the human race from possible extinction against the constantly mutating virus of bird flu.

New technological breakthroughs are quickly found and some of the most mysterious parts of the Earth are finally explored.

Many flee, leaving land and air to the birds, including some of the world's brightest scientists. The fight for survival becomes all the more desperate.

After having purchased Kazakhstan last year. Google used the Baikonur Cosmodrome to pack up all of its servers, staff and resources into rockets and blasts them all to Mars with modular shelters and terraforming equipment.

They leave behind the dying Earth and aim to use all the data they have collected over the years to build an unstoppable evil empire.

2017

Mars starts to become somewhat over populated but with all those people up there with nothing to do they start to build houses up there.
Later that year the first resturant is built.

1066

The great armies of King Harold II of England and Duke William of Normandy stand silent and focussed, ready for the call to charge.

The horns are blown on both sides and the men let out their war cries and charge. A bright white light fills the sky and both armies stop dead in their tracks blinded and afraid.

Survivors described a burning metal bird the size of a city falling from the skies over the battlefield. The men tried to flee but it was too late. The bird struck the ground with a deafening noise wiping out most of both armies and killing William of Normandy.

What was left of the metal bird continued burning for weeks, and nobody dared approach it, fearing it was the result of some evil witchcraft.

When the fire finally ceased and the ground was cold and still, only a single man was allowed to approach the bird. He came back after two hours of investigation having drawn a strange word that he could make out on the side of the bird. The word was "Google", wise men and scholars of the time did not recognise the word.

The man that investigated the bird latter collapsed, one week after the investigation. Doctors could do nothing for him, he was too weak to even speak. He died two days later. His memorial is still standing to this present day.
