Absolute Johannes factotum
- SCP-5381 (?)
- SCP-5381 are ghost-like giant human skeletons, roughly 25 to 30 meters tall, that appear in cemeteries in the Soconusco region of Chiapas, Mexico. Unlike their Japanese counterparts, these skeletons are adorned with decorations similar to traditional Día de Muertos sugar skulls and exhibit a curious, almost childlike behavior instead of being hostile. They appear about twice a month for a few hours before vanishing, and efforts are focused on keeping their existence a secret from the public, using memory-wiping drugs on anyone who sees them.
- Colorless green ideas sleep furiously (?)
- "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously" is a famous sentence coined by Noam Chomsky in 1957 to illustrate that a sentence can be grammatically correct yet semantically nonsensical. It highlights the distinction between syntax (the rules for sentence structure) and semantics (the meaning of words and sentences). The phrase demonstrates that while the sentence follows English grammatical rules, the combination of words like "colorless green" and "sleep furiously" creates an illogical meaning, challenging purely statistical models of language and emphasizing the need for more structured grammatical theories. Despite its intended meaninglessness, various attempts have been made to interpret the sentence figuratively or within specific contexts.
