@AMinorMuddle I'm going to say... john.
On November 24, 1971, an unidentified man hijacked Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305, a Boeing 727 aircraft operated by Northwest Orient Airlines, in United States airspace.
The hijacker told a flight attendant he was armed with a bomb, demanded $200,000 + a parachute. He then leapt from the jet mid-flight and was never seen again.
Years later, a new social network appeared, seemingly with no source of funding, founded by a man who's identity seems to be a mystery....

Weird fluffy advent, day 20
Have been using the same "weird fluffy advent" title for the whole series but this one is definitely big time cute rather than weird.
OK, the one on the left is a little weird.

Now I wonder what particular Lego game that block on tomorrow's wrapping paper could be...
If I had 44 billion lying around, I think I'd do pretty much what I do now. Charitable & personal donations aside, I'd just buy more books & records. But instead of scouring shops for decent copies, I'd buy priceless mint 1st editions/pressings outright... And then I'd realise that what I enjoyed most was scouring shops and being elated by a lucky find.
