Absolute Johannes factotum
- SCP-4244 (?)
- SCP-4244 is a strange event that sometimes happens at live music shows in small, indoor places with 50 to 312 people, where no live broadcast is happening. When it starts, the audience suddenly becomes extremely violent, rushes the stage, brutally kills and dismembers the band members, and then eats their remains until nothing is left. After this gruesome act, the crowd returns to normal, often panicking, and about an hour later, the real band announces they couldn't make it to the show, even though they were later found alive and well, unable to explain their delay. The origin of the band that gets eaten is unknown, and the Foundation works to contain information about these events, even having to deal with an incident involving a children's musician.
- Faxlore (?)
- The article describes "faxlore" as a type of folklore, including humorous texts, folk poetry, folk art, and urban legends, that spreads primarily through fax machines, similar to "xeroxlore" or "photocopylore" which circulated via photocopying. This material often involves mildly subversive workplace humor, practical jokes, or urban legends, sometimes becoming distorted with each transmission due to poor graphic quality. While some faxlore is harmless, other examples, such as hoaxes about drug-laced tattoo stickers or gang initiations, have had serious consequences, leading to legal challenges when school administrators or police departments acted on unverified information from these anonymously circulated faxes. With the rise of the internet, much of this content now circulates as "copypasta" through email and social media, making faxlore increasingly obsolete.
