Hello, today I bring before the detectives of the internet a very peculiar case.
I was about to install Ubuntu on a CD, when I noticed the blank CD was not as blank as I thought it was. There were 18 tracks on it. However, each of the tracks had two contradicting filesizes:
Either 1kb (The minimum windows file size, perhaps?)
Or 44 bytes (Which is nearly impossible)
Facts:
-The tracks are random, with 1 or 2 recurring artists.
-The displayed filesize for the tracks is 44 bytes each. No variance.
-When opened in a text editor, each track is 1 line long.
Track01:
For reference, I opened a few other tracks from around my computer, and each one was over 100,000 lines long.
Theories:
Theory 1:
The songs are stored elsewhere on the disk, and the files are not the acutal song.
Evidence:
The songs will not play anywhere but when played off the disk.
Ramifications:
None.
Theory 2:
The daemons of the immaterium have made themselves present in this disk.
Evidence:
This does not obey any known laws physics or electronics.
Ramifications:
The collapse of the known multiverse.
Theory 3:
The files are actually somewhere on my computer.
Evidence:
None. These files do not exist in any known form other then the disk. Copies of the files do not work.
Ramifications:
I have a lot of weird stuff on my computer that I didn't know about.
Theory 4:
We have discovered a new ultra-effecient form of compression.
Evidence:
The file size is smaller then a regular file by a factor of 100,000.
Ramifications:
Storing all the known content of the internet as it exists today in a thumb drive.
